About Us

Tykes of Columbus Childcare Centre was founded in 1999, in the historic town of Columbus, with the goal to provide a positive daycare experience with a large focus on outdoor play. Located on just over an acre of land, with an outdoor space of over 8000 square feet, our goal is to engage your child with both indoor and outdoor activities, enabling self-discovery and growth. 

We are a fully licensed facility, meeting and exceeding the requirements set forth by the province through the Ministry of Child and Youth Services. The center is routinely inspected by the Health Department, Fire Department and licensing officers from the Ministry. 

Our dedicated team of highly qualified and experienced educators provide a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive. Our mission is to support the development of each child by offering age-appropriate activities and educational programs that promote physical, cognitive, and social-emotional development. We believe in fostering a sense of curiosity, creativity, and independence in every child under our care. 

Tykes of Columbus has a strong community presence and is involved in local fundraisers, special events, sports teams and holiday events.
