Columbus House provides an early childhood learning environment to meet the needs of infants, toddlers, and pre-schoolers. We recognize that the years of 0-6 are a period of rapid growth and development and are critical for a child's physical, social/emotional and cognitive development. Our qualified ECE staff works closely with The County of Renfrew Child Care and Integration department and has adopted Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT), a framework for Ontario Early Childhood settings. Early identification and age appropriate play based programming are the focus of care.
