WE ARE PLASP

Along the way, they’re learning new skills, building confidence, and discovering more about the world around them.

Learn MoreTHE PLASP DIFFERENCE
Having cared for over one hundred thousand children in over 50 years, it’s easy to understand why PLASP is one of the most trusted names in child care.
Families tell us they value our qualified educators, affordable rates, and convenient locations, along with the reassurance that every program meets the highest standards of care.
WHY PLASP
PLASP educators are more than just qualified. They’re dedicated professionals who bring skill and care to every program. In our Early Learning and Child Care Centres, you’ll find Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) leading the way. In our Kindergarten and School Age programs, educators include RECEs as well as Ontario Certified Teachers (OCT), Child and Youth Workers (CYW), and Child and Youth Care Practitioners (CYC).
Every educator completes a clear criminal reference check, holds valid First Aid and CPR certification, and takes part in specialized training, including Positive Caregiving for Children and Setting the Stage for Successful Behaviour. It all adds up to a team that families can count on to keep children safe, supported, and thriving.

WHY PLASP
At PLASP, families never have to choose between quality and affordability. As a non-profit charitable organization, we keep child care accessible by reviewing parent fees annually through our Board of Directors. We also participate in the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care System, which will reduce fees for children five and under to an average of $10 per day by the end of 2027. Fees include all the essentials like supervision, meals, crafts, games, and special events, so there are no hidden costs. It’s one more way we provide high-quality child care that families can trust.
WHY PLASP
Every family’s schedule looks different, which is why PLASP offers options that actually work for busy parents. With Before and After School programs in more than 230 schools and over 35 full-day Early Learning Centres across Peel and Toronto, families have care close to home and right in their child’s school. On top of that, our P.A. Day and school break programs make it easier to plan around those days off, giving children fun and engaging spaces while keeping routines simple for parents.

WHY PLASP
