Our Programs
Here is an overview of our different programs & activities. There’s always something fun and exciting happening at our centres.
EarlyON Child and Family Centres provide opportunities for children from birth to six years of age to participate in play and inquiry-based programs, and support parents and caregivers in their roles. These centres offer safe and welcoming environments open to all families across the Durham Region, with qualified professionals and quality programs. Families and caregivers will be able to find support, make personal connections and access a network of resources.
We recognize each individual's lives may have different circumstances and vulnerabilities. Please respect the choices made by others to use or not use masks. Please remember to be kind.
