The primary purpose of Children's Garden Nursery School is to provide the community with a program that responds to not only the intellectual and physical needs, but also to the emotional and social needs of the developing child. Like flowers in a well-tended garden, our children will be given a special place, within a natural environment, where they will be allowed to grow and blossom at their own individual pace, and where they will be respected for their own unique contribution to the group.
At Yes I Can! we offer a caring, stimulating learning environment that enhances each child's strengths while fostering leadership skills and promoting activities that build confidence, self-esteem and a life-long love of learning.
ABC Academy About Us abc Academy first opened its doors at 18 Melrose on March 5, 2007. The centre was founded by Wendy Arnold List, a mum and businesswoman who built abc to have the optimal place to help care for her children. She wanted to create a beautiful facility with nurturing staff and programming focusing on a healthy lifestyle and Kindergarten readiness – but most importantly, she wanted her kids to love it. abc has since expanded to the neighbouring house at 20 Melrose in 2009 and to Davisville Village at 1432 Bayview in September 2011. It continues to offer a warm, nurturing, educational and fun environment for little ones giving parents great peace of mind and kids a great start to school. We are excited to be expanding into the Beach at 1923 Queen St. E. opening September 2013 and to Leaside at 235 McRae Dr. opening September 2014.

Open Arms Preschool has felt like home for the past 2 and a half years. My daughter started going there when she was 18 months old and she's been cared for by loving and patient teachers. The facility is clean and organized, and did such a good job maintaining the safety protocol during COVID. The webcam and apps were great communication tools to receive updates and see what the kids are up to. I am so grateful to have found such a warm and caring environment for my daughter!Read more
