Our organization made a difficult, unprecedented decision to close all programs in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The closure will remain in effect until at least April 3rd. We will post an update here and on our facebook page.

We will be scheduling time for our staff to connect with participants by phone. Feel free to leave us a voice mail at 416-469-0495 or email us at eastendprograms@gmail.com or eecc@rogers.com if you want to chat.

During this difficult period, we send heartfelt wishes for the best of health to you, your children and other family members.

Sincerely,

Staff and Board members at East End Children’s Centre

Diner After Dark raised $12,000 for the No Child Turned Away project in 2020!

Have a look at all our Diner After Dark photos and list of supporters here!

Our very popular Monday & Friday drop-in programs at Kimbourne return October 4th as the No Child Turned Away project kicks in again for its fall/winter phase. This project depends on fundraising and donations, and targets the cold winter months when families need more play options and supports. We thank all who contribute!!

Monthly evacuation drills are a necessary inconvenience.  We are required to do them and we want to do them well because we care about your child’s, yours and our own safety.

You don’t have to love them, but if you are bringing children to our programs, you do have to participate without protest.

We expect adults attending our programs to model a positive attitude during evacuation drills, so that children feel safe while practicing these skills.  Please follow all direction from staff.  Do not collect your coat, bags and stroller.  You will be interrupted by staff and asked to cooperate if you try do this, or decide to depart the program during a drill.  If the weather is chilly, throw a coat or blanket over your child and leave the building.

Wondering what that registration form is that you are being asked to complete? 

The form is so that we can maintain basic contact information, in case you ever need to be contacted.

Why would we be contacting you?

We would need to get in touch with you right away if there was ever an emergency involving your child, or your child’s caregiver.  We also wouldneed it in the event of an outbreak at our centres, as public health requires us to notify families when they may have been exposed to certain infectious diseases.

If you include an email address, and we hope you will, we will also send you our quarterly newsletter, and keep you informed about events and other things going on at East End Children’sCentre.
