Hello Nk,

Thanks for sharing your situation with us.

You can find some information on obtaining daycare from the City of Toronto Child care finder.

It may also be helpful to look into some of the Family Resource Programs and Ontario Early Years Programs to see if there are any services available to you.

Many of these programs have something called "Parent Relief".

This program is for people who are taking care of their children but may need some childcare because they have to go to an appointment or run an errand.

Please note that unfortunately, this is not available on an ongoing basis for example every day of the week as a daycare centre. In most cases, it is available on an as needed basis. It is important that you contact them directly to find out if this is available and the requirements.

I hope this information is helpful. Please let us know if you have further questions and if there is any follow up to your question/situation.
