Early Childhood Education and Care Opening Hour Exceptions

Common holiday times cause changes in the opening hours of early childhood education and care providers. During fall break (week 43), Christmas time, winter break (week 10), and summertime (June, July, and August) municipal daycare centres are open by putting groups and centres near each other together. Preschool education and open early childhood education clubs are usually not open during these times. Family day care activities are limited due to the carers’ holidays.  

Private daycare providers will inform their customers about their facility’s opening hours. 

Extended and night care opening hour exceptions 

Extended and night care are provided at all times excluding Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day.
