Proposal Number:
15-EDU001
Posting Date:
March 24, 2015
Summary of Proposal:
The Legislature recently passed new legislation to modernize and strengthen Ontario's child care system and improve oversight in both the licensed and unlicensed child care sectors. The Child Care Modernization Act, 2014 was passed by the Legislative Assembly and received Royal Assent in December 2014. Once proclaimed, the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 will go into effect and the Day Nurseries Act will no longer be used.
The proposed regulations will provide information for child care providers, parents/guardians and the general public about how new legislation will be put into practice. The proposed regulations would come into effect when the legislation is proclaimed, and would address four priority areas: licensing clarity, enforcement, licensing standards and special needs. This document also includes information about transition regulations that would support the transition to the new Act.
All interested parties are encouraged to provide feedback on the proposed regulations. The Ministry of Education values the unique and diverse perspectives from parents/families and broader child care and early years partners.
Feedback can be provided in one of three ways:
1) By using the comments field which appears when the "Comment on this proposal via e-mail" field is accessed below.
