Childrens Services

Working with individuals, municipalities, and agencies, the County of Lambton Children's Services team makes sure that families and child care providers get the support they need.

Child Care

To support health care and front line workers, the Ministry of Education has implemented a targeted emergency child care program for school-aged children only (ages 4 -12 years), at no cost to eligible parents, until schools reopen for in-person instruction or until emergency child care is terminated by the Ministry of Education. Eligibility and additional information can be found in the following document.Info Sheet - Emergency Child Care for Health Care & Other Frontline Workers

Please visit www.LambtonOneHSN.com if you wish to apply for a child care space at a licensed child care provider. This includes:

• Home-based child care

Once you have a child care space at a licensed provider, you can apply for subsidy.
