Intra

Intra is Ontario's childcare platform specialising in connecting childcare centres and families with vetted, qualified independent childcare professionals. Operating as a licensed recruitment and Employer of Record agency in Ontario, Intra handles the vetting, compliance, and administration behind every match, ensuring that centres and families are never left exposed. The company has built a trusted network of over 300 qualified educators serving more than 100 childcare centres and families across the Greater Toronto Area, with a 99.9 per cent shift fill success rate and over 250,000 shifts filled to date.

Every professional in the Intra network holds an Early Childhood Assistant (ECA) or Early Childhood Educator (ECE) diploma and brings real experience from settings across the childcare sector, including daycares, schools, and private homes. Before any professional is matched, Intra verifies comprehensive documentation including Vulnerable Sector Checks, current First Aid and CPR certification, and required immunisations such as Hepatitis B, MMR, Tdap, and Varicella. All professionals matched through Intra are covered by WSIB insurance from day one, and network members have access to exclusive training resources, best-practice sessions, and Intra's full training manual to support continuous professional development.

Intra operates exclusively across the Greater Toronto Area and serves three primary client segments: childcare centres seeking on-demand staffing and staff qualification support, families requiring in-home childcare and live-out nanny services with payroll and compliance management, and childcare professionals seeking opportunities to join the network or advance their qualifications. The company is recognised as a Toronto Metropolitan University Emerging Employer Winner in 2025 and sponsors the Community Network of Childcare Programs (CNCP), a non-profit supporting over 60 community-based childcare operators running 85 programmes across North Toronto and the GTA. Intra's commitment to fully compliant, quality childcare and personalised matching for children with additional support needs sets it apart in the sector.
