Ontario Early Years Centres provide free drop-ins and preregistered programs for parents and caregivers with children aged 0- 6 years. There’s a variety of toys, creative activities, and usually circle time with songs and fingerplay.
To find a list of locations click here. Or you can check out the handy map below to see what’s near you. (I just found 2 locations near me that I never knew existed!)

Zoom into your area and click on the marker to see the hours of operation, telephone number and website link. Click the website for additional details on where the OEYC is located (if there’s a room # or suite specified), and the hours in case it has changed since the map was created (August 15, 2012). I will update it again in the fall. Enjoy!

This is a great resource Melanie! =) If you want to add the OEYC (main site + satellite sites) with French programs let me know and I’ll send you the calendar with location details.
That would be wonderful Nancy, thank you!
