TMU EarlyON: Outdoor Drop-In

Outdoor Drop-In The Early Learning Centre playground will be where we host our outdoor drop-in program on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. Come and enjoy the ravine-like setting in the middle of TMU's quad!

Outdoor sessions meet at the Early Learning Centre playground in the TMU quad. Use the published accessible campus entrance at 379 Victoria Street. Kerr Hall West, KHW 167 is the indoor programme/contact room, not the outdoor meeting location. The map identifies that published campus entrance; follow the organizer’s playground directions on arrival.

Drop-in hours operate on a first-come, first-served basis. Once the room capacity is reached, we are unable to accommodate additional families in the space. This includes both indoor and outdoor programs. Location: Please enter through our accessible entrance at 379 Victoria Street, Toronto ON M5B 1W7 Classroom: Kerr Hall West (KHW) 167 Telephone #: 416-979-5000 ext. 554134 As part of our supportive and caring community, we ask that families report any illnesses to us. It is our shared responsibilty to keep each other, our children and our sister program at the Early Learning Centre safe. By sharing information about an illness your child is currently experiencing (ex. related symptoms), we will be better equipped to handle and mitigate the spread of diseases or viruses more efficiently and effectively. Please refer to the TPH website (external link) for information regarding communicable diseases, and the Canadian Pediatric Society (external link) website for useful virus and disease information sheets. (external link) Please email Franca Tarantino, the Manager of the Child and Family Programs, at [email protected] to alert her to any illnesses or symptoms your child is experiencing. Please consider staying home when you and/or your child are ill. We will be encouraging everyone to sanitize or wash their hands, along with their child's hands, before entering our classroom. Lastly, we are a NUT-FREE program. Please DO NOT bring any nuts or nut products to the centre or playground. Some children and/or adults have life-threatening allergies, and exposure to nuts could be fatal. **Please do not bring food products into the playground as remnants and dropped food particles may attract unwanted animals/pests in our playground**Thank you for keeping everyone in our community safe! Thank you for working with us to keep us all safe and healthy.

STROLLER PARKING and INDOOR SHOES: As of May 27th, we will be asking families and caregivers to leave their strollers in a designated area, which will be marked with signs, outside of the EarlyON classroom. Please take all your valuables and personal belongings into the classroom and use the cubbies/hooks to leave your items in a secure space. We are also asking families to bring indoor shoes/socks (no bare feet, except baby feet) to help mitigate the spread of germs, as the babies and younger children enjoy being on the floors. Should you have any questions or concerns, I urge you to contact me, Franca Tarantino, Manager of Child and Family Programs at [email protected] Thank you! 4. We will be closed on Monday, November 9th for a Professioanl Development Day.
