The Ontario Works / LINC / ESL program is a service for children of adult students participating in English as a Second Language training (ESL), LINC language training, or Continuing Education classes. The programs provide a relaxed child-centered environment where children can safely learn through play. The programs encourage development in social, emotional, physical and cognitive skills. More information on the program is provided at the time of registration. Children of students who are between 6 months (certain locations only) and 5 years are eligible for the program. The programs operate according to the adult class schedule. The student parent must be on the premises at all times when their child is in the child care program. Programs are provided free of charge to parents who are registered in LINC/ESL language classes or who are attending classes as part of their Ontario Works development plan.
