For more than 30 years, we have been providing the highest quality of child care to those within our community between the ages of 18 months and 12 years. During this time, we have built strong relationships that are founded on trust, allowing us to provide services to families for generations. Our experienced, professionally trained and licensed staff are committed to the well-being, safety and happiness of your child as they grow and mature in all aspects of life.
Columbus Early Learning Centres adhere to the Ministry of Education and City of Toronto’s set curriculum for child care centres. We have also implemented specific enrichment programs where special classes such as dance, yoga, “mad” science and Italian lessons are offered to ensure your child enjoys a broad and unique experience.
In addition to our trained and certified staff, we have licensed special needs resource teachers available to assist in specialized areas for children with special needs or disabilities.
At Columbus Early Learning Centres, we are proud to offer services that are diverse, engaging and reflect the values on which we were founded.
