Respite Care

Sometimes parents need a break especially during a work related separation.

If your situation is not considered an emergency however, childcare would be considered essential to your family’s continued health and well-being, a period of respite childcare is available to you.  Families may access up to 96 non-consecutive hours of childcare, at no cost to you. The St. John's MFRC will work with you to develop a respite childcare schedule that meets all your needs.
