Description & Services
DescriptionThe Ontario Early Years Centres in Hamilton strive to work with parents, caregivers and the community to:
     
  • Promote children's optimal development and readiness to learn which will assist children to reach their fullest potential 
  • Create an environment where all children are safe and secure within our communities
 
The vision for Hamilton's Early Years Centres is to create a welcoming and accessible environment for all parents and caregivers. The Early Years Centres allow parents and caregivers to acquire information, resources and support they need to ensure that all children have the best possible start in life, and provide a place where parents, grandparents, caregivers and children six years of age and younger play and learn together. 
 
Toy lending library services are available at this location. 
 
This program presently participates in Raising the Bar. The presence of a Raising the Bar certificate is a sign that the program is committed to maintaining provincial regulatory standards as well as local community standards.
