EarlyON Child and Family Centres

Access an up-to-date schedule of EarlyON programs in Muskoka.

Each month EarlyON Muskoka will be sharing Early Learning calendars full of simple and fun ideas to engage with your child. The ideas build on basic skills like literacy, numeracy, fine and gross-motor skills, as well as sharing, empathy, resiliency and more. They are great ways to spend time with your child and help them develop.

EarlyON Child and Family Centres offer weekly free dinners for families with at least one child under 6 years of age.  Our dinner programs provide an environment for families to connect at the end of the day.

We provide the dinner and play space so you can have that additional time to interact with your little one.

You must register one day prior as space is limited.

Please understand that we cannot accept non-registered families for dinner as food is purchased in advance and based on registered numbers.

Dinner program hours are from 5:00 – 7:00 p.m. and offered at the following locations:

Transportation

Volunteering

As part of this transformation, service system managers are expected to incorporate the following principles into the development, delivery and evaluation of EarlyON programs. As such, EarlyON Child and Family Centres must:

• meet the needs of parents, caregivers and young children by supporting their developmental health and general well-being;
• provide a warm and welcoming environment based on the foundational conditions for supporting growth and long-term success (belonging, well-being, engagement and expression);
• foster positive outcomes and support nurturing relationships for children, parents and caregivers based on the latest evidence and research;
• embrace inclusivity and be accessible and responsive to children, parents and caregivers with varying abilities and cultural, language, socio-economic, sexual orientation and religious backgrounds;
• be developed and delivered cohesively, in collaboration with community partners, parents and caregivers; and
• as part of their design, incorporate guidance received in consultation with communities, educators, parents and caregivers that further develop strengths and fill any identified gaps.
