A Note from EarlyON | Waterloo Region
We can’t believe it’s been nearly five (5) months since we’ve seen you at our physical programs. We’ve been so happy to connect with you virtually through online programming and phone check-ins, and, like many of you, we’re looking forward to being able to connect again in person.
On July 30, the Premier announced the reopening of Ontario schools this September, which includes a plan to reopen EarlyON Child and Family Centres. Our goal is to have a strong understanding of all of the details so that we can open and provide the level of programming and services you’ve come to expect from EarlyON | Waterloo Region. As such, we do not yet have an anticipated date of reopening to share with you.
As you can expect, there are a lot of moving pieces to this announcement, and we are working tirelessly to ensure that the health and well-being of your child(ren), your family and our communities remain central to our re-open plan. At this time, we are awaiting local public health guidelines and EarlyON expectations from the Ministry of Education. We are also working closely with our local school boards and municipalities to safely open our centres.
As we receive more information from the Region of Waterloo, our local Public Health and the Ministry of Education, we will continue to update you with any changes or new information as it becomes available. Please continue to check this page often, and look out for messages through our Email Newsletter or social media pages on Facebook and Twitter.
As We Prepare to Reopen Tell Us What Is Important to You
As we work hard to understand the reopening guidelines that will be expected of us, we are also focusing on the areas of reopening that are the most important to you.
We invite you to take 5 minutes to share your thoughts to help to guide us in our planning.
