The City of Kingston and the County of Frontenac launched a regional survey on March 6, 2026, to gather feedback from families about local child care and early years programs in Kingston, Ontario. This initiative is designed to help local officials understand the experiences of parents and caregivers using various child care services across the region.
The survey asks for input on several types of programs, including care in licensed centres, home-based care, and before- or after-school programs. Families who use EarlyON programs are also encouraged to share their thoughts on the quality and inclusivity of these local services.
The City of Kingston manages child care for both the city and the County of Frontenac. Staff will use the information from the survey to plan for the future by looking at ways to improve program quality, affordability, and accessibility.
Residents have until April 2, 2026, to provide their feedback through the online portal. This data will help ensure that local programs continue to meet the specific needs of families living in the community.
