Toddler Program
Informed by the Child Care and Early Years Act and How Does Learning Happen?, our Ministry-licensed Toddler program offers a caring and nurturing environment where children feel safe to learn, explore, play, and grow.
With a 5:1 student-teacher ratio, children in our Toddler class (18 months to 2.5 years) receive individualized attention from experienced RECEs who are dedicated to student success and development. An inclusive setting, Tender Years is committed to serving all learners, regardless of ability. We work closely with community agencies and families to ensure students with special needs are set up for success and have the greatest opportunity for growth and development. Please speak to the School Supervisor prior to registration so that we can ensure that your child’s needs are best understood and supported in the classroom environment.
Our classrooms introduce a variety of activities that stimulate learning while allowing each child to grow at their own pace. Each program offered encourages creative learning through fun activities including arts and crafts, music, song and dance, puzzles, dramatic play, sensory bins, and gross motor activities. Additional school events are often planned such as themed days, animal shows, special guests, pageants, and our annual Fall Fair.
Our child-centred approach to learning includes time both indoors and outdoors in our enclosed playground specifically designed and designated for our toddlers. Tender Years also has child-size restroom facilities to help build confidence and independence, and our staff will work with you and your child on their potty-training journey.

Program Fees
Our program fees are competitively priced and we offer flexibility in scheduling that is so essential to today’s busy families.
Active Families – As a co-operative, we rely on our families to actively participate in all school activities, and a monthly fee discount is awarded in exchange for your involvement. Families can get up to $110 back on student fees each month for their participation in the school ($22/hr is earned for a maximum of 5 active hours per month).
Non-Active Families – Tender Years respects the fact that not every family is able to be actively involved with the school. As such, TYC offers a limited number of spaces available for non-active families, and fees will be higher to reflect the contribution our active families make.
Child Care Fee Subsidy – Should a family require fee assistance, they can apply with the Region of Peel. Full eligibility details and a child care fee subsidy estimator can be found at peelregion.ca/hsapply or by calling 905-793-9200.
