Who We Are
“Excellence in quality care”
We believe that a child's early years set the foundation for further learning. We implement a play-based learning experience that encompasses children's own interests. Our educators work diligently to design a welcoming environment in which children are nurtured and challenged cognitively, emotionally, socially, and physically. We facilitate experiences for children to grow, learn, and discover in a stimulating environment, allowing children to develop at their own pace which contributes to a healthy and positive future. Our qualified educators design and implement a program that fosters the love of learning, exploration and curiosity. Planned experiences and learning objectives are reflective of Ontario's Pedagogy How Does Learning Happen? and the E.L.E.C.T. (Early Learning for Every Child Today) ensuring that our little ones receive the support they need to achieve their individual milestones in all developmental domains including Social, Emotional, Communication, Cognitive, and Physical.
We are a fully licenced facility with a capacity for 54 children. We are licensed by both the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Public Health, upholding the standards set forth by them. We provide programs for children between the ages of 3 months to 7 years of age.
We employee RECE's that are specially certified in First Aid and CPR to provide quality care that meet the cognitive, emotional, social, and physical needs of each individual child. Our assistants are individuals that have a genuine interest and experience working with children and in facilitating their development. We engage parents, and staff to maintain at all times an ongoing communication about the program and their children.
We are centrally located at 138 Centre St. Aurora, ON L4G-1K1, North of Wellington, West of Industrial Parkway. We are just steps away from the GO Transit Aurora Station and the Public Parking lot. Conveniently close to Highway 404.
The Centre serves local families from Aurora, Oak Ridges-Richmond Hill, Newmarket, King City, and Stouffville neighborhoods.
For the Afterschool program we are able to service the following schools at this time:
- Aurora Grove Public School (French immersion program)
- Aurora Heights Public School- Aurora Wellington Public School (Gifted Program Grade 4 to 8)
- Lester B. Pearson Public School students (Grade 3, 8 that are part of French immersion)
- Our Lady of Grace CES Home school catholic (that are part of French immersion)
- St. Joseph French Home school Catholic
- École Élementaire Catholique Saint-Jean

School buses can directly drop children off at our location from their schools. However, parents must arrange with the School Bus transportation services to have their children be dropped off at our facility.
We look forward to a partnership with you in your child's development!
