Seneca Hill Program Offerings

Seneca Hill Centres for Early Learning has 7 beautiful and bright classrooms and is located on a quiet street just off Don Mills Road. We are lucky to be part of a very friendly and vibrant neighborhood that has easy access to transit and is near stores, banks, and schools. We can easily escort Kindergarten children to Crestview Public school and Our Lady of Guadalupe Catholic school.  Seneca Hill Centres for Early Learning is surrounded by stunning greenspace. We facilitate Yoga classes throughout the year. We just put in brand new rubber surfacing and a new play structure in our Preschool/Kinder outdoor space. We also have separate play spaces for Toddlers. These spaces both include play structures, sandboxes, space to ride our bikes, basketball nets, tables for picnics, outdoor art and crafts, and many others.

Testimonials

  • My son started daycare at 1 year of age, spending the first year of his life at home during the lockdown.  It wasn’t easy as many other kids, however, staffs at Dawes Road CEL were so helpful and caring he eventually got it easy within the first 3 weeks. The staff members were very supportive and kept me updated with his progress. Especially the himama app helped me be informed of all his activities throughout the day.

    I would like to convey my heartfelt gratitude to the staff and management of the center for taking care of my son.

  • The last two and a half years have been wonderful for Asharib. I still remember the 1st day when I dropped him at daycare and how scared we both were. But he had learned so much in the past 2 years & I am glad that I decided to send him to Lori Gardens. Special thanks to all of Asharib’s teachers for taking such good care of him teaching him manners and always trying to make his day fun & exciting. Thank you so much for everything!


  • 45 years of excellence is a great achievement. Congratulations! We will continue to support your growth. Together stronger!
