Programs
Care that grows with your child.
Our infant care, toddler care and preschool programs in Midtown Toronto give children time to play and learn with others at a similar stage.
9 - 18 months
Infants
Your baby's routines guide the day. Educators get to know their cues and make time for feeds, naps, cuddles and play.
18 - 30 months
Toddlers
Toddlers are keen to try things for themselves. Our educators help them build on that independence, learn new words and get used to playing with other children.
From 30 months
Preschool
Children have more time to follow their interests, work on projects together and practise doing things for themselves as they get ready for school.
Every day includes
Monday to Friday, 7:30am - 6:00pm
- Play-based, emergent curriculum shaped by the children's interests
- Lunch and two snacks every day
- Rest time suited to each age
- Outdoor play in our natural playground

Questions families ask
Is Monarch Manor part of the $10-a-day (CWELCC) program?
No. Monarch Manor operates as a full-fee centre outside the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) system. We're happy to walk you through current fees when you get in touch or visit.
What ages do you care for?

What are your hours?
Monday to Friday, 7:30am - 6:00pm.
Are meals included?
Yes. Lunch and two snacks are included each day, catered by Real Food for Real Kids (opens in a new tab).
How can I see my child during the day?
Families can look in on their child through Watch Me Grow (opens in a new tab) live cameras. Educators also share photos and updates through Lilio, so you can stay connected to their day.
Do you offer part-time care?
Yes. Families can choose two days a week on Thursday and Friday, or three days a week on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Full-time care is available five days a week.
Can you accommodate allergies and dietary needs?
Our caterer, Real Food for Real Kids (opens in a new tab), can accommodate almost all allergies and dietary needs. Tell us about your child's requirements so we can confirm the arrangements with you.
How do you help my child settle in?
Our transition plan recommends shorter visits that gradually build up to a full day. We work with you as your child gets to know the educators, the space and their new routine.
Does my child need to be toilet trained before preschool?
No. Children can join our preschool program in diapers. Our educators work with parents to support toilet learning.
How much time do children spend outdoors?
Children have at least two hours of outdoor play each day, weather permitting, in our natural playground.
What if my child no longer naps?
Our afternoon rest period includes a nap or quiet time for children who no longer sleep during the day.
What are your educator-to-child ratios?
Our ratios are one educator for every three infants, five toddlers or eight preschoolers. We also employ a full-time floating educator who supports the team during breaks and illness.
