Child Care

The Day Nurseries Act

To find out more about the Day Nurseries Act and the Provincial role in child care you can access the Ministry of Children & Youth Website.
Parents who wish to contact the Ministry of Children & Youth Services (MCYS) about any aspect of their child's care, may call toll free at 1-866-821-7770.
