PLASP operates 20 Early learning and child care centres throughout Mississauga and Brampton. The curriculum for these centres is based on the High/Scope model. The High/Scope approach is based on long term research that shows children learn best from active learning experiences which they plan and carry out themselves.

Four of our centres care for children from 15 months, the remaining 20 centres care for children from 2.5 to 5 years of age.
