At Mothercraft Ottawa's Evered Avenue location, we offer Full Time and Part Time Child Care Programs for children between the ages of 6 weeks and 5 years. Our centre, located in the heart of Westboro, has large spacious playrooms and shaded play yards for the children. Additionally, each group has their own main playroom and a gross motor room.

Located at Mothercraft Ottawa's Evered Avenue location, the EarlyON Child and Family Centre is one of six EarlyON Child and Family Centres across Ottawa. Programs and our services are free of charge for all parents and caregivers of children aged 0 to 6 years, residing in Ontario.

Regulated by the Ministry of Education, our programs and services provide opportunities for all children six years of age and under, together with their parents/caregivers, to participate in play and inquiry-based programs, and for parents and caregivers to receive support in their roles and have access to information about child development and specialized services as needed.

Mothercraft Ottawa's Licensed Home Child Care Program has been providing quality child care for children from infancy to 12 years of age since 1983. We offer unlimited child care spaces in areas throughout the City of Ottawa and subsidized spaces are available upon approval by the City of Ottawa.

Parents tell us that this program gives them the "best of both worlds" as they receive the benefits of a family atmosphere and individual attention, combined with legislated standards for quality and safety.Our program is licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Education and governed by the Child Care and Early Year's Act.
