Welcome to the official web site of the Association of Day Care Operators of Ontario (ADCO). ADCO is the industry association for independent licensed child care programs in Ontario, both commercial and not-for-profit. ADCO members include licensed child care centres, home child care agencies, Montessori schools, nursery schools, preschools. private schools and school-age programs. ADCO provides a forum for the owners, managers and boards of these organizations to work together to maintain and improve child care quality, and expand the range of licensed child care choices available to Ontario families. ADCO member centres are located throughout Ontario. Most are run as small businesses, with one or more locations within a single community. Others are run as not-for-profits by churches or temples, or by neighbourhood or Indigenous groups. Still others are run as larger commercial enterprises or as part of larger workplaces. ADCO membership is voluntary. It is run by its members, for its members and the families they serve.
