The programs provide a relaxed
child-centered environment where children
can learn safely through play. The programs
encourage development in social, emotional,
physical and cognitive skills.
In 2006, there was one location
offering the Language Instruction for
Newcomers (LINC) Child Care program.
This is a service offered to adult students
participating in LINC language classes.
The program is similar to the one offered
through the Ontario Works Child Care
program. However, whereas in the Ontario
Works Child Care program the costs are
funded through the City of Ottawa, the
program costs for the LINC Child Care
Program are funded through federal
government grants for children of new
Canadians participating in LINC language
classes.
