Plan your visit

The groups are offered to children aged 0-6 and their parents and/or caregivers from Ottawa.

We welcome siblings under the age of 7 during the groups.

If your child shows symptoms such as fever, diarrhea, or vomiting, we ask that you stay at home and take care.

There is free parking available at 270, av. Marier.

Open groups without registration can fill up quickly and places are limited. We go on a first come, first served basis.

If you plan to bring a snack for your child, please ensure it is free of most common allergens such as nuts and shellfish or seafood.

The spaces are accessible by elevator for strollers or wheelchairs.

Our centre encourages breastfeeding and quiet areas are provided in the playroom for nursing mothers.
