Pre-Applications for Emergency Child Care in Muskoka

On Monday, April 12, the Premier announced that schools would remain closed to in-person learning after the spring break.  Students enrolled in publicly-funded schools across Muskoka will now be engaged in virtual learning effective Monday, April 19, 2021.

The District Municipality of Muskoka is currently working with operators, school boards, the Simcoe Muskoka District Health Unit, and the Province to make ECC spaces available in Gravenhurst, Huntsville, and Bracebridge. Locations are yet to be finalized.

In order to save time and support health care and frontline workers, Emergency Child Care (ECC) is being established ahead of the final worker eligibility criteria being confirmed by the Province. 

In order to assist families as quickly as possible when final provincial approvals are in place, we are now accepting pre-applications for ECC.

Please follow the pre-application directions below for returning or new applicants. Pre-applications will be processed on a first-come, first-served basis.

If You Have Previously Accessed ECC:

If you accessed ECC in January/February of 2021 and would like to reactivate your application, please send an email to our ECC Team at childrensprograms@muskoka.on.ca and ask that your application be reactivated.  Please be sure to include your name and contact number in the email.  A member of the ECC team will be in touch with you about next steps and any further documentation that needs to be provided.

If You Are a New Applicant for ECC:

Please complete the online pre-application available at https://www.missioninc.com/olaf/muskoka/en-ca/welcome.   Once you click “Apply for Child Care Fee Subsidy” the application will launch. When completing the application please select “Emergency Child Care” as the reason for applying.  A member of the ECC team will be in touch with you about next steps and any further documentation that needs to be provided.

ECC Updates

ECC updates including worker eligibility criteria, locations, and start date will be provided as information is confirmed.  For the most up-to-date information please visit our website at www.muskoka.on.ca/emergencychildcare.
