Conveniently located in the heart of Tecumseh, our childcare centre provides easy access for families seeking exceptional early learning and care.
Inside, our spacious rooms offer a comfortable, welcoming, and engaging environment that nurtures children’s healthy development where they can feel at home as they learn and explore. With a focus on fostering creativity, curiosity, and social development, our indoor spaces are designed to encourage exploration and discovery through age-appropriate activities and resources. Outside, the centre features a secure and engaging playground that offers children plenty of space to run, play, and enjoy fresh air. From climbing structures to interactive play areas, the outdoor environment provides endless opportunities for physical activity, teamwork, and creative exploration.
Our centre is an ideal choice for families in the Tecumseh area who are looking for a trusted, caring environment where their child can grow and flourish, providing peace of mind to parents and guardians in need of safe and reliable childcare.
Our Tecumseh centre provides both full-day and half-day childcare for children from 2 months to 6 years old, in addition to before and after school care for children aged 6 to 12.
An outline of learning opportunities is provided through a “reflection template” displayed prominently on the information board in each classroom. This template offers a detailed overview of the educational activities and experiences planned for the children.
Parents and guardians can stay updated on their child’s day using the Brightwheel app, receiving real-time photos and updates about activities and progress.
Our four-week rotating menu provides a diverse selection of nutritious meals and snacks, ensuring your child enjoys healthy food options daily. Additionally, our Tecumseh location is fully nut-free to accommodate food allergies.
