Wellington Street
Upper Canada Child Care

Rooted in relationships, inspired by play and nature.

Thank you for your interest in our childcare centre on Wellington Street.

Our childcare programs are currently available only at our licensed locations in Ontario.
If you reside outside of Ontario, please contact centres by phone.

Setting

Located in a historic building, this centre has a home-like atmosphere where educators intentionally bring nature into the classrooms.

The outdoor play area is a gently rugged, sensory-rich area with wood structures, rocks, and natural surfaces that invite hands-on exploration.

Programs

We value the trust families place in us and believe parents know their children best. Our play-based programs support families by adapting to children’s changing needs.

Aligned with Forest School principles this program supports children’s health and well-being with daily active nature-focused activities and outdoor play.

Our tree-lined open space invites children to learn and explore in an environment that encourages curiosity, movement, and connection to nature.

Observing the two large maple trees and their seasonal changes – from tapping the trees and making maple syrup to noticing colourful leaves and bare branches – has become the heart and rhythm of the program.

Children enjoy water play, a mud kitchen, art activities, yoga, gardening, and building materials. A nearby creek and walking paths prompt scavenger hunts, and investigations of plants, bugs and animals.

Full Day Programs:  Toddler, Preschool 

Programs include interest-based activities exploring literacy, numeracy, science, nature, and the arts.

Families can expect a flexible group routine responsive to needs for play, nourishment, and rest.

Educators build warm, trusting relationships and create a sense of belonging, while nurturing language and self-regulation skills. Positive group experiences and engaging activities encourage creativity, social skills, independence, resilience, and confidence.

Full Day Programs include two nutritious snacks and a hot lunch.  See sample menu below.
