[Toronto, ON] 

Autism Ontario had the opportunity to provide input and recommendations regarding the Ministry of Education’s proposed amendments to the Child Care and Early Years Act (CCEYA). Overall, the proposed changes represent a meaningful and positive step toward strengthening child safety and program quality in licensed child care programs in Ontario.

Our recommendations are offered to build on this work by enhancing clarity, supporting consistent implementation, and ensuring the framework effectively protects all children, particularly those who may be at increased risk due to disability or complex support needs.
