The EarlyON Child and Family Centre at the Guelph Community Health Centre provides child-centred, responsive programs and services for all children aged birth to six and their families. All of the EarlyON programs are guided by the pedagogical document, How Does Learning Happen?, introduced by the Ministry of Education in 2014 and based on best practices in early learning and care. The four foundations of high quality early learning and care outlined in HDLH are: Belonging, Well-being, Expression and Engagement which we make ongoing concerted efforts to improve on, in all of our programs.
