OCDSB Early ON Child and Family Centre

Notice: We would like to inform you of the difficult decision to cancel the EarlyON indoor summer program for July and August. This cancellation is necessary due to a current shortage of qualified staff.

Our priority is to provide high-quality EarlyON programming and support to the families in our OCDSB schools. To achieve this, we require a dedicated team of educators with the necessary education and experience. Without sufficient qualified personnel, we cannot ensure the quality and integrity that our families expect and deserve.

We recognize that this news will be disappointing for the families, and we share that disappointment. 

While this cancellation is unfortunate, it presents an opportunity for families to discover other EarlyON centres and children's activities in their community, and we have encouraged the Program Facilitators to share the Incredible Playgroup Finder with participants. 

We eagerly anticipate welcoming families back to our programs starting September 8, 2025. 

Notice: Please review our Enhanced Health and Safety Requirements regarding measles

To promote high-quality, safe and enjoyable experiences for everyone, OCDSB EarlyON Centres have the discretion to determine the capacity for each location as needed. We reserve the right to refuse access to the EarlyON program when OCDSB policies or procedures or EarlyON program guidelines or expectations are disrespected.

Illness: Please do not attend an EarlyON Centre if you or your child is unwell. If your child is too ill to be at school or daycare or to fully participate in the activities, they are too ill to be at an EarlyON Centre. Program Facilitators may refuse entry and/or ask you to end your visit early if you have symptoms and/or your symptoms of illness worsen during your visit.
