Childcare in Ajax
Home childcare in Ajax, Ontario.
Ajax sits at the western edge of Durham Region, closest to Toronto and Scarborough. We match Ajax families with nearby home childcare providers and support caregivers opening a home daycare in town.
About childcare in Ajax
Ajax is a commuter town for many families — Ajax GO and Highway 401 carry a lot of parents west each morning. Care that opens early and stays open late in the afternoon is usually the deciding factor, so we ask for your commute times as well as your address.
Home childcare fits well here. The groups are small, the caregiver is the same person every day, and the setting is a family home, which often makes settling in gentler for infants and toddlers than a larger centre.
Fees are set by each provider. Families living in Durham Region may be eligible for the child care fee subsidy through Durham Region Children's Services, and providers enrolled in the Canada-wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system charge capped fees for children under six. We put the details in writing before you enrol.
Neighbourhoods we cover
We match families with providers across Ajax, including:
Providers coordinate with local Durham District School Board and Durham Catholic District School Board schools for before- and after-school care, including walking pickup where the school is nearby.
Commuting from Ajax GO or along the 401? Include your earliest drop-off and latest pickup time in your request so we only match you with providers who can cover it.
