Gledhill Avenue Child Care Centre
Supporting Families Since 1989.
OUR CENTRE
Gledhill Avenue Child Care Centre (GACCC) is a not-for-profit organization offering licensed early learning and before-and-after school programs. Since the summer of 1989, we have operated out of Gledhill Junior Public School (GJPS) in East York, providing care for children in preschool through grade five.
YOUR CHILD IS IN GREAT HANDS
At Gledhill Avenue Child Care Centre, your child’s safety, well-being, and development are our top priorities.
Our programs follow the City of Toronto’s Assessment for Quality Improvement (AQI), which means we go beyond basic standards to provide high-quality, engaging, and supportive care every day. Our educators create a warm and inclusive environment where children feel valued, build confidence, and explore through play and learning. From thoughtful program planning to strong relationships and safe daily routines, we are committed to helping every child grow and thrive.
DIVERSITY, INCLUSION & INTEGRATION
We strive to cultivate an environment where diversity is celebrated and all families feel a sense of belonging.
We are committed to providing care that is free from discrimination, harassment and barriers to equal opportunity

Fair does not always mean equal
