Upper Canada Child Care

Upper Canada Child Care Caring, committed professionals working together to deliver high quality child care.

Upper Canada Child Care is committed to providing quality programs that are guided by our organizational values of support, trust, safety, respect and professionalism, and that are consistent with Ministry of Education policies and pedagogy, as outlined in the following documents:

Upper Canada Child Care views all children as competent, curious individuals who are rich in potential and capable of complex thinking. Each child is a unique person with their own interests, abilities, and dispositions, and deserves to feel accepted, understood, supported, and respected within our programs. We believe that we set the stage for our children’s success when we foster the foundations of belonging, well-being, engagement and expression in our programs.

A positive morning routine can help set the tone for the day ahead. 🌞

At Upper Canada Child Care, we recognize that consistent routines provide children with a sense of security, confidence, and independence. Simple moments throughout the day, from getting ready in the morning to transitioning into new activities help children develop important life skills.

When children know what to expect, they feel supported and prepared to learn, play, and explore.

Instead of taking a trip to the farm, one of our centres brought the farm right into their Preschool program! Our educators created an immersive farm experience where children could explore, imagine, and learn through hands-on play.

From milking cows and shearing sheep to planting vegetables, collecting eggs from the hens, raking hay, and using wheelbarrows, there was so much to discover!

Experiences like these give children opportunities to connect with the world around them in meaningful ways. Through hands-on, imaginative experiences, children build confidence, independence, problem-solving skills, language, and an understanding of where our food comes from—all while having fun and learning together.

At UCCC, we believe some of the most meaningful learning happens when children can experience, explore, and make discoveries for themselves.

"What a fantastic summer it has been at UCCC camps! From the first day of camp to the final round of sunshine-filled fun, our campers have been busy making memories, trying new things, and jumping into adventure after adventure. The smiles, laughter, and excitement have been on repeat all season long—and we could not be happier about it!

Together, we explored some of our favourite summer destinations—beaches, water parks, and tree-top trekking are always big highlights! Back at camp, the fun continued with games, crafts, experiments, special activities, and plenty of opportunities for campers to be creative, curious, active, and connected. It truly was awesome from Day One.

A very big thank-you goes out to all our camp teams who worked so hard to make summer camp a safe, welcoming, and joy-filled experience for everyone. There is so much planning, preparation, training, teamwork, and behind-the-scenes effort that goes into making camp run smoothly, and with more than 2100 campers every week, we are incredibly proud of the care and energy our camp staff brought to every day.

We would also like to thank all the families who took the time to participate in our annual survey. Your feedback helps us celebrate what went well, learn where we can grow, and continue improving the camp experience year after year. Thank you for being part of another memorable UCCC camp season!

Until next summer, keep the sunglasses handy, the water bottles full, and the camp spirit shining bright!"

Yours truly,

Nicole
Camp Coordinator
