Welcome to A Child’s World
A non-profit Child Care organization serving over 900 children across the Niagara Region, in 20 licensed centres, with a team of more than 100 educators.
A familiar face at the door
Our educators create a loving, stimulating learning environment each day focused on belonging, engagement, expression, and well-being.
Learning that follows the child
Drag along the years to see how the programs change. Every centre follows How Does Learning Happen? — Ontario’s pedagogy for the early years.
Creating the foundation for lifelong learning.
Infant children learn predominantly through sensory experiences and our programs are rich in sensory experiences. The Educators focus on creating a healthy relationship by providing a responsive, caring environment and planning for each child’s developmental level.
Building on the foundation for lifelong learning.
Toddler-age children are really expanding their language and gross motor development. They parallel play along with their peers and are learning self-help skills and independence. The Educators provide opportunities and activities to build and strengthen muscles, increase their vocabulary and understanding, and foster their independence.
Enhancing the foundation of lifelong learning.
Preschool children often demonstrate what they know about their world through pretend play. The Educators observe and participate in the children’s play and provide open-ended questions and additional resources to extend and enhance the child’s learning through play experiences.
Expanding the foundations of lifelong learning.
Kinder-age children use their previously acquired knowledge and continue to build upon that knowledge. They are developing social relationships with their peers and expanding their knowledge through collaboration. The Educators provide small group activities and experiences based on the children’s interests and developmental level and facilitate positive interactions with peers.
Refining the foundations of lifelong learning.
The School Age children have a great sense of curiosity and they are open to new and interesting ideas about the world. They have already mastered some skills but are ready for any challenge. The Educators provide activities and opportunities to spark curiosity and engagement, peer collaboration, expression, and open communication.
