EarlyON Child & Family Centre - BridgeWay Family Centre - Streetsville

Nice and clean facility with friendly staff but it's more of an independent play type of place.

Had some concerns about the new covid restrictions in place, but worked with Lynda and she was more than helpful so I will be returning one day soon!

Love the new location; larger and more spacious. My daughter loves it here and the facilitators are amazing. Ask for Jacklyn when you go in; she’s usually the one with the big smile at the front ; my daughter knows her as the Tattoo Lady; not only because of her tattoos; but because my daughter loves getting stamps from her. Jaclyn is awesome!!! It’s an independent play area and there are dedicated classes for all age groups. We see a lot of the regular moms and dads there and it’s a good way to have the kids out and about and experience different sections of the facility. Will definitely recommend this place to other moms and dads.

This is the absolute best location and best place to go for young children. My daughter is 2 years old and delayed with speech and basic understanding. She can’t say any words, she doesn’t understand any words and she is currently being tested for autism. She doesn’t follow basic commands so going to activities is usually very hard for us as a family. We are also being threatened with eviction at our apartment because my toddler runs around, occasionally drops toys and sometimes plays with loud toys. We were told by our building that we need to take our toddler out at least once a day in the winter. This became very hard for us because she hates the cold and will cry to leave. This is when we found early on. We were told about it when we gave birth at credit valley hospital so I looked into it. There were not many reviews on photos online so I wasn’t sure what we were getting into. My husband has been taking her to this location for 2+ weeks now and he continues to tell me how happy they are when they go here. The workers are so kind and never make him feel like our child is a burden. She runs around when they do circle time and it makes my husband nervous that somebody will say something, however, every single time they make them feel SO welcome. We have never found somewhere so beneficial for our daughter. She has been learning so much and getting her energy out where she can’t at home. She’s allowed to run around, play with toys in a loud/incorrect way, she does arts and crafts, she interacts with other kids and adults. This location has so many toys based on the Montessori approach and I LOVE that. They have a ton of wooden toys including a beautiful pikler! I really want to give a huge thank you to the workers of this location and the people that started this amazing program. After having our second daughter we could not afford to take our child to kids activities every day and the fact that this is completely free is just incredible. THANK YOU to everyone here. They have made my family feel so welcome and have helped my daughter blossom.
