COVID-19 has changed some of the ways licensed child care operates in the province of Ontario. MTJB, along with all licensed child care centres, are required to follow the Ontario Ministry of Education and Health's most up-to-date rules and guidelines in regards to COVID-19 and other illnesses.
MTJB has comprehensive illness and cleaning policies and procedures that are informed by the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education, and our local public health unit.
Many of our COVID-19 and childhood illness policies and procedures are outlined in our Parent Handbook.
MTJB Childcare Centre Inc. is a private non-profit business governed by a voluntary board of members. The board has decided to follow the advice of our local public health and continue indoor masking protocols at our centres.
All staff members employed by MTJB Childcare Centre Inc. are required to wear medical masks while inside the building.
Parents are allowed in the centres at present, but all parents or guardians who enter the centre are asked to wear a mask or face covering while inside our building.
Masks or face coverings for children enrolled in our programs is optional at this point in time.
