Ethennonnhawahstihnen Childcare Centre

Ethennonnhawahstihnen Childcare Centre is a non-profit, licensed childcare provider situated within the Ethennonnhawahstihnen Community Recreation Centre. We are licensed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services and have a Service Contract with Toronto Children’s Services, which enables us to offer subsidized childcare to qualifying families.

Our Program Offerings

At Ethennonnhawahstihnen Childcare Centre, we provide a range of early learning programs, including infant, toddler, and preschool care, serving children from 6 months to 4 years of age. Our centre values open and consistent communication with families, and we use the HiMama platform to provide daily updates on your child’s progress, including their experiences, meals, and rest periods.

Our Programs

In our Infant Program (6 months – 18 months), educators create a warm, nurturing, and developmentally stimulating environment tailored to each infant’s individual needs. We align feeding and sleeping routines with parental guidelines, ensuring consistency between home and the centre. With a low educator-to-child ratio of 1:3, we provide personalized care that supports each child’s sensory, motor, language, and social development through carefully curated experiences such as music, art, and physical play.

Our Toddler Program is designed to foster independence and social connection. Small groups enable toddlers to form meaningful relationships while exploring the world around them. Educators emphasize language development, fine motor skills, and socialization through structured experiences that build confidence and support the child’s burgeoning self-help abilities. The ratio of educators to children in our toddler program is 1:5, fostering individual growth in a structured, engaging environment.

Our Preschool Program (30 months – 4 years) encourages curiosity and exploration, allowing children to engage with the world around them through a variety of experiences. Educators observe and interact with children to understand their interests, tailoring learning experiences to encourage further discovery. Key developmental areas include cognitive skills, socialization, and emotional regulation. Children are introduced to literacy, numeracy, science, music, and art in ways that promote critical thinking and creative expression. The educator-to-child ratio in this program is 1:8, facilitating a balance of structured learning and independent exploration.

We believe in offering a holistic early childhood experience by incorporating enriching extra-curricular experiences that support children’s overall development. These experiences include:

  • Music and Movement: This program is designed to nurture a love of music while promoting physical coordination and gross motor development. Through rhythmic movements, dancing, and musical play, children develop an understanding of rhythm, balance, and coordination in a fun and engaging environment.
  • Storytelling: Storytelling fosters early literacy, imagination, and listening skills. Our educators encourage children to participate in interactive storytelling sessions where they engage with stories through various forms, including role play, puppets, and creative retelling. This builds language development, comprehension, and a love of reading.

Our French Program offers children exposure to French language and culture through immersive experiences. Designed for children who may have some basic French skills but do not speak the language at home, this program integrates French into daily routines such as reading, writing, singing, and play. Nearly 50% of the day is spent in French instruction, helping children build confidence in a second language.
