Child Care Service Plan
The Child Care and Early Years Act (2014) designates the United Counties of Leeds and Grenville as the Early Years Services System Manager for the area. As such, we are responsible for:
- Planning for licensed child care and family support programs within Leeds and Grenville.
- Preparing a Service Plan which highlights the local needs, priorities and service delivery plan.
- Service planning needs community meetings and analysis of community data.
- The first Service Plan under this Act is due to the Ministry of Education in January, 2019 . The plan will be reviewed on an annual basis based on community trends and shifts in priorities.
