Infant Program

Our Infant Program serves children 3-18 months in a dedicated Cubs Room with 9-child capacity. Certified caregivers provide continuity of care through sensory exploration and developmental activities tailored to early milestones. The program emphasizes emotional security and natural curiosity while maintaining strict caregiver-to-child ratios. Parents receive regular updates through the HI MAMA app to monitor feeding, sleeping, and developmental progress.

Toddler Program

Designed for 18-month to 2.5-year-olds, our Toddler Program (Teddies Room) supports rapid physical and cognitive development. With 10-child capacity, educators facilitate self-discovery through structured play and social interaction. The curriculum builds motor skills and early communication while preparing children for preschool transitions. Daily activities include music, movement, and sensory experiences in a safe, stimulating environment.

Our Preschool Programs (Koalas, Pandas, Bear Club Rooms) serve 2.5-4.5-year-olds with 16-child capacity per classroom. The curriculum fosters independence through inquiry-based learning and age-appropriate academic foundations.

My son attends West Oakville Preschool and it is hands down the BEST childcare experience we have had. The teachers at this school are so caring and lovely and Cathy, the director is awesome! They communicate with parents regularly throughout the day through the HiMama App. Anthony has also learned so much. As a child who had a mild language and speech delay, WOPC has helped him develop his language and has been so supportive with this matter by offering to work with speech pathologists. His teachers are always kind enough to chat with me at the end of the day when I pick him up from the outdoor

Deciding in whose care to place your most treasured thing in the world is nerve-wracking, difficult and anxiety-inducing experience for most parents; I was no exception. Thankfully, after searching for roughly 6 months, we found WOPC.
Cathy, the centre's Director, answered all our questions, explained that the centre is accountable to a Board of Directors, and took great care in putting our minds at ease. My son was enrolled in the infant program at just 1 year old and his teachers were kind, attentive and gave regular updates via email and with the HiMama app. They knew I missed him dearly and

I really don't know how WOPC compares to other centers, but I cannot think of anything at all that is lacking there or could be better. What I know is that our son is surrounded by love and care at WOPC and that our next child will definitely go there if we are still in the area :)

We have been part of the Westoakville Preschool family for over four years. My second child is enrolled at the moment and my first child still talks about WOPC all the time! The consistency of the staff, their dedication, and their care for the children put my mind at ease when I drop off my toddler. The ECE's in the Koala room (and all rooms since my eldest was there as well) keep me updated all day with pictures and always answer my e-mails when I have a question or something to tell them about my child. I cannot express how grateful I am for WOPC. All the staff has gone ABOVE & BEYOND since

This daycare centre is definitely one of the best I have used! I have sent my two little ones to quite a few in the past four years. From my own experiences I cant say enough good things about the centre. The teachers and staff have diverse backgrounds but are all super friendly and caring. The outdoor space is so beautiful with tons of green space as well as a big fenced playground for the kids to run around. Teachers constantly keep parents updated on what the kids are doing and how their days are going via HiMama and I just love the transparency! My son has been going for a few months now

If I could give this daycare 10 stars I would! Our daughter has been attending WOPC since September and it has been AMAZING! She is so happy to go to daycare every morning. I was nervous about her transitioning to daycare but the staff made our daughter feel so welcomed from the beginning. It is so wonderful knowing that she is eating good, nutritious food and also learning on a daily basis. This was our first daycare choice as I researched and visited MANY and I can definitely say that it is living up to our expectations and even more. They use the HiMama app and I love receiving updates on her
