Those who are looking for the emergency care of school-aged children can determine their eligibility by looking at the criteria of the provincial guidelines. 

Free emergency child care starts on April 19th for those working in essential frontline jobs and health care workers.

Licensed child care including those within homes and at schools for children from the age of 0 to 3.8 years will continue during the closure. 

Some workers eligible for free emergency child care include those working in health care, police, and fire; paramedics and Public Health workers; long-term care workers; HSR employees; those maintaining food, hydro, and water systems; correctional officers, and more.
