Childcare - regional subsidies and community resources
Guests and Children on Campus Policy: Northeastern Toronto classes are restricted to students registered for a particular class and to any guests authorized to attend by the instructor. To promote campus safety and well-being, and in consideration of the learning environment for other students, children are not permitted in classes or on campus except to attend events that specifically indicate children are welcome. If you are uncertain if an event is appropriate to have children participate, please check first with the organizers before bringing your child to campus. Children attending events must always be under the care and supervision of an adult.
Regional Childcare Subsidies:
For our students with dependents, reliable childcare is an important element of maximizing your student experience and ensuring that you are meaningfully experiencing your learning environment. If you have dependents below the age of 4, you may be eligible for a childcare subsidy that would reduce the cost of childcare. Please note that regional timelines for application requirements and processing may vary, so please plan accordingly.
