We are pleased to announce that EAST GWILLIMBURY CHILDREN’S CENTRE is planning to open its doors to families in East Gwillimbury and the surrounding communities in 2023.

We are committed to serving the local community with quality child care!

Our program will provide learning opportunities, both indoors and outdoors, in the beautiful greenspace surrounding our building.

The philosophy of EAST GWILLIMBURY CHILDREN’S CENTRE is to provide a nurturing, fun and educational learning environment which will meet the needs of your child and in accordance with the Child Care and Early Years Act. A child is always entitled to opportunities to develop emotionally, creatively, socially, physically, and intellectually in a ‘play-based’ environment which fosters co-operation, respect and a sense of responsibility and order. East Gwillimbury Children’s Centre intends to meet the unique needs of the child within the context of the whole group.

We see children as competent individuals, capable of complex thinking, curious and rich in potential and we will value and build on their strengths and abilities. We will encourage the children to interact and communicate in a positive way and support their ability to self-regulate. We see families as experts who know their children better than anyone and have important information to share with us. We will foster the engagement and ongoing communication with parents about the program and their children. The Centre shall supplement and compliment parental/guardian care and values while seeking to provide a loving environment – home away from home – in a non-profit childcare centre.
