About our Centres

EarlyON Child and Family Centres provide opportunities both in person and virtually for children from birth to 6 years of age to participate in play and inquiry-based programs, and support parents and caregivers in their roles. These centres offer safe and welcoming environments open to all families across Hamilton, with qualified professionals and quality programs. Families and caregivers can find support, advice, make personal connections and access a network of resources at these programs. We encourage you to register for the programs you are most comfortable with and that are right for you and your family.

If anyone is experiencing symptoms of illness, we ask that you do not attend in order to keep our community safe.
