The Oakville Learning & Childcare Centre

This beautiful centre provides children with an incredible opportunity to learn, grow and develop in a nurturing environment. Recently purchased by Edleun (Education Learning Universe), this centre has witnessed visible improvements to the facility, menu and curriculum in the past 12 months. Still serving children as young as 6 weeks in a full day setting to children as old as 12 years in a before and after school program, the Oakville Learning & Childcare Centre strives to set itself apart from anything considered ordinary.
Known for their fully bi-lingual programming, the Oakville Learning & Childcare Centre offers French in every classroom with a fully fluent French speaking teacher. This program is perfect for children planning on attending a French Immersion elementary school. Along with the French speaking instructor, you’ll find a fully trained, experienced and nurturing E.C.E. (Early Childhood Educator). For children not planning to attend French Immersion, the benefits of exposure to another language are plentiful and long lasting. Developmental programs are in place for infants and toddlers, where milestones are tracked and recorded to ensure every child unlocks their true potential. In the pre-school and kindergarten rooms, you’ll find the Frog Street Curriculum educating their children on the values of respect, community and friendship – all while learning mathematics, language and socialization skills. Every morning begins with a community circle, a welcome message and a positive commitment for the day. Games, activities, songs and experiments fill up the daily schedule to allow their children to fully learn and develop through a play based environment.

Knowing how extremely important proper nutrition is to both the physical and mental well-being of growing children, Edleun has partnered with a Registered Dietician and Nutritionist. Andrea Holwegner of Health Stand Nutrition Consulting Inc. certifies their menu, ingredients in their menu and provides proper substitutions in case of personal beliefs or allergies. Their meals are made in-house, fresh daily and from scratch. Their full meal program is included at every age group (an example of a meal plan would be their Fish Sticks. Whole fish are cut into fillets, breaded using eggs, milk and bread crumbs, and then baked in the oven until done. This is served alongside rice, steamed broccoli, cauliflower, fresh fruit and a glass of milk).
Parents continue to rave about the quality of the Early Educators in the rooms. The relationships they’ve been able to build with both the children and their parents are truly remarkable. Fully trained, certified, experienced and passionate about their career, the team at the Oakville Learning & Childcare Centre are among the very best Oakville has to offer. Miss Siji (See-Gee) Puliyodil leads the team as Centre Director and her drive to make the centre as incredible as possible truly shines through in the quality of care and programming being offered.

This Centre is located at 20 Shepherd Road (just off of Speers Rd and Kerr St), a quick 3 minute drive to the Oakville Go-Train Station. They offer convenient operating hours for commuting parents and are open from 6:45am to 6:00pm. Knowing how important fun and safe before and out of school care is, they also offer care to children enrolled at Patricia Picknell, Pinegrove, Oakwood and St. Marie.
