Children & Families Description

LEF began offering child care in the early 1980s to allow parents to support their families by working or returning to complete academic pursuits. Since opening our first centre, we have expanded to more than 30 child care centres and before and after school programs located across Toronto. LEF is now one of the largest providers of child care services in the City of Toronto.

Children & Family Services

LEF Child Care Centres Service Update: Responding to the latest COVID-19 provincial guidelines and Toronto Public Health safety protocols, LEF childcare centres have reopened where sufficient interest and safety practices can be implemented. Some specific program cohorts may see a postponement in their opening dates as our team continues to monitor family interest, particularly as children returned to schools in September 2020. For further information on program openings and availability, please contact us by phone at 416-769-0930 or by email at info@lefca.org. We look forward to hearing from you!
