Caring for Children

The Family Care Office provides information on schools, after-school programs, children's programming over the summer holidays, March break, or at any other time of the year. We can help you identify age appropriate resources and programs.

The Family Care Office can also provide you with information about child care options near the University, near your place of work and/or near where you live. You can receive contact information for child care centres, in-home child care registries and caregiver registries by calling 416-978-0951 or email.

To help you consider various child care options we offer a workshop called Choosing Child Care That Works for Your Family. This practical session introduces participants to the various forms of child care and helps them to choose the option that will best meet the needs of their family. This is a free workshop for all members of the University of Toronto community. To find out when the next session is scheduled, please refer to our event listing.

The Family Care Office created an online Babysitter Listing to assist staff, faculty, and student parents in finding casual child care. The babysitters, who are University of Toronto students, have a wide array of training and experience with children and child care.
