Niagara Region and Niagara Falls Public Library are partnering to bring EarlyON Child and Family Centres to local library branches in Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake.
The new centres are set to open by early September. Known for providing engaging programs for children and families, the Library will now offer free EarlyON programming for kids up to age 6 and their caregivers.
These drop-in programs promote early learning and development through play-based activities in safe, welcoming environments.
In April, it was announced that three EarlyON Centres located at Mary Ward Catholic Elementary School, St. Michael Catholic Elementary School and the MacBain Community Centre would be winding down operations in August with services moving to new locations.
New EarlyON Centres will be located at existing Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake Library locations.
Niagara Falls Locations:
- Victoria Avenue Library, 4848 Victoria Avenue
- Stamford Centre Library, 2-3643 Portage Road
- Community Centre Library, MacBain Centre, 7150 Montrose Road
- Chippawa Library, 3848 Main Street
Niagara-on-the-Lake Location: Niagara-on-the-Lake Library, 10 Anderson Lane
