First Steps Child Care Centre is conveniently located within the state-of-the-art Beacon Heights Public School, offering families in the Tecumseh and Lakeshore areas a trusted and accessible childcare option.
Whether your family is part of the local school community or nearby neighbourhoods, First Steps Child Care Centre at Beacon Heights Public School supports your childcare needs with a seamless and integrated experience. For those who attend the elementary school, being on-site makes drop-off and pick-up more convenient for busy families while fostering a sense of connection between the school and childcare environments.
Families can feel confident knowing their children are nurtured in a familiar, supportive, and engaging environment.
At this location, we provide four age-specific programs for full-day and half-day care: Infant, Toddler, Preschool, and School-Age (Kindergarten) for children aged 2 months to 6 years. We also offer before and after care for school-aged children from 6 to 12 years.
Our childcare services are available Monday to Friday from 6am to 6pm, year-round, except for the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day and the first week of July.
Each classroom includes a “reflection template” on the information board that outlines the day’s learning opportunities. Parents and guardians can track their child’s activities and progress via the Brightwheel app, where our staff regularly shares photos and updates throughout the day.
We maintain a nut-free environment to ensure the safety of all children. Our rotating four-week menu provides a wide range of healthy meals and snacks, offering your child a variety of nutritious options every day.
