Serving Toronto families for more than 45 years, our education experts offer standard-setting programs for infants, toddlers and preschool children. We want children to be learners, to love to learn, to be part of a community of learners, and to grow into awesome adults who can make a difference in the world.
Reminder: Rainy Spring Weather
Spring is sure to be rainy! We go outside as often as we can, including in the rain, unless there is an extreme weather alert suggesting flood-like downpours. Our playground has some shady areas and some covered areas in case of inclement weather. Please remember that playing in the rain is fun and does not make children sick. We ask that your child is appropriately dressed for all weather conditions. Please have a raincoat, splash pants, rain hat, and rain boots in your child’s cubby at all times. As always, please ensure your child’s belongings are labeled with their name to avoid confusion. Thank you for your help in having your child appropriately dressed for the weather conditions each day so they can fully enjoy the outdoors!

infinity place"All the Little Princesses" Story
The children in Casa East have been collaborating on a story which they entitled, “All The Little Princesses”. We began to spin a tale during lunchtime as we ate. We would go around the table and each friend would add new pieces to the story. The children made up the plot, included each friend and teacher, and added details that still make us laugh! Who wouldn’t want a horse named Onkie? We hope you enjoy reading it as much as we enjoyed writing it! (Please click for the full story!)
