EarlyON Centres

Native Child and Family Services operates four EarlyON Centres in the Toronto area where children aged 0 to 6 years old and their parents or caregivers take part in programs and activities in a friendly and nurturing environment, free of charge.

EarlyON centres are grounded in Aboriginal culture and traditions, and are integrated with our Registered Early Childhood Educators, Shikabewis (Helper), Zhishay (Uncle) and Family Community Navigator.

At our daily drop-in programs, children and families have access to play and inquiry based learning opportunities using natural and traditional teachings and materials. We also offer special events and workshops including regalia making, rattle making, moccasin making, healthy cooking, and traditional languages.
