University Settlement Day Care is a very special place!
Located in University Settlement’s unique setting on Grange Park, in the heart of downtown Toronto, children participate in a wide range of activities, all of which have been adapted to meet strict government COVID-19 health and safety protocols. Our Early Childhood Educators are creative, caring professionals who ensure high quality programming under these restrictions that supports the social, cognitive, creative, emotional and physical needs of each of the infants, toddlers and preschoolers in our care.
Our exceptional licensed child care program offers a nurturing environment that encourages children’s creativity, self-expression, and respect, while fostering their imagination, curiosity, and intellect. Structured, challenging, and age-appropriate cognitive activities help children understand cause and effect, develop hand-eye coordination, improve literacy, and help develop conceptual thinking and problem solving.

Brianne’s Story —“Our oldest child started at University Settlement Day Care during the height of the pandemic…”
“Our oldest child started at University Settlement Day Care during the height of the pandemic. Due to COVID-19 restrictions, we didn’t have a chance to tour the facility and we weren’t allowed inside the Day Care to help ease him into his new routine. This made us a bit worried about how he would handle the transition, but the Day Care staff quickly eased our concerns with their cheerful greetings at drop-off each morning and open communication throughout the day.
When our second child started Day Care towards the end of 2022, restrictions were starting to lift, and I was able to join him for the first few days while he settled in. Being able to spend time in his classroom, get a sense of his daily routine, and get to know his teachers was a really nice experience that made it easier for both of us.
I cannot say enough good things about the staff at University Settlement Day Care. They’re caring, kind and supportive and have done a fantastic job creating a sense of normalcy for our children during such a challenging time.”
