Quality Child Care
Children are competent, capable of complex thinking, curious, and rich in potential. To nurture this, we provide a safe and caring environment for toddler, preschool, kindergarten, and school-aged children. Registered Early Childhood Educators professionally lead all programs, and our facilities are licensed annually by the Ministry of Education.
Fee subsidies are available for those who qualify through the County of Wellington. For more information, please visit their website.
How to Register
We have a brief questionnaire to get placed on our waitlists. Once a space has been confirmed, we will require a full registration package to be completed. During this process, office administration will guide you and answer any questions you may have.
When space is not immediately available, a waitlist is in place for families. The following factors are used when drawing children from the waitlist:
- Permanent Request for current clients
- Permanent requests for new clients
- Short term requests for current clients
- Short term requests for new clients
- Age of child
Please note that all of our Licensed Childcare Waitlists are on hold. We are currently transitioning to the new Wellington-Guelph Child Care Application and Waitlist. The new waitlist will go live on April 17, 2024. Please check back on that date for the link to our new and improved waitlist system. For more information, visit: www.wellington.ca/childcarewaitlist.
