The Kenora District Services Board is working in partnership with community-based licensed child care providers to deliver emergency child care free of charge.
Five centres will re-open for nurses, doctors and other frontline care workers.
That includes the New Prospect Early Learning Centre in Dryden, Moozoons Child Care in Red Lake, the Waninawakang Child Care in Sioux Lookout, as well as FIREFLY Child Care and Kid’s Zone Lakeside in Kenora.
The Services Board is now accepting applications at http://www.kdsb.on.ca
Chief Administrative Officer Henry Wall says “I want to commend our Early Years team and the community-based licensed child care centres for working together so quickly to offer emergency child care services for essential services workers’ families. Access to child care should not be something that front line staff in health, police, corrections, and first responders in our communities have to worry about during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
