Niagara Park Children’s Centre has been an active and vital part of the local community since 1985. It is highly regarded as an early learning centre that nurtures and educates children while supporting their wellbeing and that of their families.

We value the power of play as a process by which children learn – a normal and essential component for healthy growth and development, an instrument that allows children the freedom to explore their skills, use their imaginations, to learn about relationships and to be active and confident participants in their own learning. We enable children to enjoy the here and now - to simply be.

We believe learning occurs when relevant and meaningful experiences are provided. We strive to create learning environments and play spaces that incorporate natural elements, are inviting, aesthetically pleasing, inclusive and which respond to children’s interests, needs, strengths and differing abilities. These environments allow them to experience success and show we believe them to be capable and competent individuals we trust to take calculated risks.

Adventurous play is encouraged. We believe when children take purposeful risks they learn to assess the possible outcomes of new situations. We empower children to make decisions about personal safety and the safety of others and to challenge their capabilities, self-awareness and autonomy.
