About the Conference
We’re pleased to officially open registration for our upcoming 2026 HCCAO Annual Conference in North York, Toronto! HCCAO’s annual conference is an opportunity for early learning and child care communities from across Ontario to connect, learn, share ideas, and shape the future of licensed home child care.
