Infant Program
Our Infant Program (3-18 months) provides secure attachment relationships through consistent caregiving. Educators follow individualized routines for feeding, sleeping, and sensory exploration while promoting motor development and communication skills. The environment features age-appropriate materials that stimulate curiosity and foundational learning through play.
Toddler Program
Toddler Programs (18-30 months) focus on autonomy and social skill development. Structured yet flexible activities encourage language growth, cooperative play, and self-help abilities. Two dedicated rooms maintain small group sizes with specialized learning centers that support emerging independence and peer interactions.
Preschool Program
Preschool Programs (2.5-JK entry) cultivate school readiness through emergent curriculum. Children engage in literacy, numeracy, and scientific exploration via play-based projects. Senior Preschool emphasizes transition-to-school skills while maintaining developmentally appropriate practices aligned with Ontario's pedagogical framework.

Certified food handlers prepare family-style meals that promote self-regulation and healthy eating habits. Snack and rest times are individualized to respect children's physiological needs.

Staff are super nice. My son started there during covid and we were not sure how it would go but from the first day he enjoyed his time and he's learned a lot.

Report
We've been so happy having our little guy at CCCCG. It's not the most modern center in town but the staff (and the food) make all the difference. Everyone is kind, genuinely cares and goes out of their way to keep us posted on what he does while he's away from us. Every time we've moved to a new room, it's felt like we're leaving favorite aunts and uncles. But then we feel the same way about the new staff! We couldn't ask for better people for our little person to spend his days with.
