Partners in Play and Learning is a monthly calendar of special activities and events offered to your family when you participate in programs at the Ontario Early Years Centre. These planned family-friendly activities support and extend the existing “learning through play” opportunities available to your child in the playrooms.

Partners in Play and Learning activities may include:

• Creative Tales - a blend of storytelling and creative art activities
• Dances and Prances - brilliant neurological exercises with a musical twist
• Sensory Fun - hands-on experiential learning fun
• Make & Take - creative theme-based activities
• Events - celebrating seasonal holidays and special days such as Family Literacy Day
• Community Partners - featured guests from our local neighborhood

Participating in planned group activities benefits your family by:

• providing social learning and networking opportunities
• enhancing your child's literacy and language skills
• increasing awareness of age-appropriate expectations
• stimulating creative thinking and problem solving abilities
• increasing opportunities for engaging positively with your child
• encouraging appreciation for music and physical activities
• developing skills necessary for success at school
