Where families come together to play, learn and connect
Our free programs are built on the four foundations of learning: Belonging, Well-being, Expression, and Engagement. All sites provide access to play and inquiry-based learning, information on child development, parent education, early learning activities, referrals to community resources, nutrition information, and pre- and postnatal resources.
EarlyON Centres provide services that are child and family-centred, community-driven, integrated and collaborative, developmentally appropriate, socially inclusive, and evidence-based. Meet and build connections with other parents, caregivers and children in the community.
Our knowledgeable, qualified, and caring Early Learning Professionals provide a welcoming, supportive, and accessible place where all children, parents, and caregivers belong. Connect through informal conversations or one-on-one to receive resources tailored to your family’s/child’s unique needs. Attend parenting and child development information sessions and workshops.
Please see our EarlyON Guide for program descriptions, support resources and a list of locations.

Early Literacy refers to the experiences that take place before a child can read and write. When you think about early literacy, imagining the idea of building a healthy brain is helpful. Research tells us that brains aren’t just born; they are built over time based on our experiences, and early experiences shape the architecture of the developing brain.

The Medicine Wheel is not to be considered a sacred icon; it is simply a symbol used as a teaching tool.
