The District Municipality of Muskoka is responsible for Muskoka's Child Care system. We also have programs, subsidies and information for parents and child care providers.
In addition to Licensed Child Care Centres, there are options for licensed home based child care through the Muskoka Home Child Care Agency.
We also ensure the same quality of care is available at all licensed child care facilities through our Quality Assurance (Improvement) program.
Licensed child care providers located in Muskoka are noted below. For information about licensed child care providers, please contact the provider directly. Please also note that:
- Each provider sets their own rates.
- All providers are required to participate in our Quality Improvement program.
- Families who are eligible for fee subsidy are welcome at all child care centres as space permits.
