Uniquely Northern Ontario
Outdoor play
Embracing the natural beauty of our superior outdoor areas means children can explore natural playgrounds freely while engaging in pretend and risky play in all four seasons. Educators incorporate environmental programming, and spend a majority of their days outside, making everyday an adventure.
Strong community bonds
Working in childcare here means you’re part of tight-knit communities. You build strong connections with families and locals, that fosters a sense of belonging and support. This involvement not only benefits the children but also enriches the community as a whole.
Participate in child development and growth
You’re a crucial part in the development and growth of children. It’s rewarding to see them reach milestones and know you’re playing a key role in their physical, emotional, and cognitive growth.
Well equipped facilities to provide an excellent level of care
Our childcare centres are top-notch facilities. They’re well-equipped to ensure kids get the best care and education possible, showing our commitment to quality.
Unique Indigenous learning
Childcare in Northern Ontario is enhanced with Indigenous learning, diverse cultures, and francophone influences. Children benefit from an inclusive education that respects all traditions and is rooted in community heritage.
Knowing I made a difference in the life of a child, a family or a child care Provider is the most rewarding part of my job.
