YMCA Licensed Child Care

YMCA South Park Child Care Centre offers care for families with children ages 18 months to 5 years. Our hours of operation are Monday to Friday, from 7:30 am to 5:30 pm, excluding holidays. We are licensed for 64 children within 5 classrooms; toddlers, rompers, juniors, seniors and preschool.

Our centre implements YMCA Playing to Learn curriculum. This is a national YMCA curriculum developed by the lead association, the YMCA of Greater Toronto, that helps children in our care discover learning through creative play and aligns with primary school benchmarks. Children will be learning through play.

Child’s play provides the foundations for language and literacy; for mathematics, science and technology; and for the arts. It provides Early Childhood Educators with the skills to prepare spaces that are more conducive to learning and the best practices to encourage quality learning experiences.

Outdoor/Gross motor opportunities are provided on a daily basis for all age groups. These include playground time, community walks, swim time (depending on classroom) and planned shared experiences. All age groups participate in outings in the community to places like museums, libraries, parks and playgrounds.
