The next school year in Toronto starts a bit later. How has this impacted your child care plans?

School is nearly out for the summer in Toronto.

The last day of school for students will fall between Wednesday and Friday, depending on the board and whether it is a secondary or elementary school.

With the way that Labour Day falls this calendar year, students won’t return to their classrooms until Sept. 8 for the next school year.

This is a full week later than when the 2025-26 school year started.

At the same time many camps and other programing will end, as usual, at the end of August.

That could leave some parents in a child care crunch for the first week of September.

Are you a parent who has been impacted by the later start to the academic? CTV News Toronto wants to hear from you.

Were you unable to secure child care for the first week of September? Have you been scrambling to find alternatives? Has it been causing you any sort of stress?
