At Kids & Us, we are dedicated to providing high-quality licensed childcare and EarlyON programs in multiple communities within South Grey Bruce, Ontario. We believe that every child is competent and capable, and it is our mission to create safe, warm, and nurturing environments where they can grow and develop. We also recognize the crucial role that families play in a child's life and strive to support both the family and the child throughout their early learning journey.

All of our child care centers are licensed by the Ontario Ministry of Education and adhere to the Child Care and Early Years Act, 2014 (CCEYA). As proud participants of the Canada Wide Early Learning and Childcare Agreement, established in 2022, we follow the How Does Learning Happen? framework in our programs. Many of our centers are conveniently located within local elementary schools, ensuring a smooth transition to school for the children and added convenience for parents.

Our centers boast bright, welcoming, and warm facilities, each with spacious playgrounds. We provide nutritious meals and snacks in accordance with the Canadian Food Guide. Our centers operate Monday to Friday, year-round, from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm (with a few exceptions).

We are closed on statutory holidays, Easter Monday, and during the period between Christmas and New Year's. At Kids & Us, we are committed to promoting equal access and participation for individuals with disabilities. We remove and prevent barriers to accessibility and comply with the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act (AODA) and Ontario's accessibility laws.

Our staff consists mainly of Early Childhood Educators registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators or approved by the Ministry of Education. They are dedicated to promoting children's holistic development. We also take part in mentoring students pursuing the Child Development Practitioner (CDP) Apprenticeship Program.

Our agency is guided by a volunteer Board of Directors, composed of parents who utilize our services and community members. They provide leadership and guidance to our organization. If you're interested in becoming a Board Member, we encourage you to reach out to our Executive Director for more information.
