About Us

Our Philosophy

A Special Kind of Play Nursery School is more than just a childcare centre — we are a purpose-driven learning community dedicated to nurturing children in an environment where self-regulation, creativity, and individual growth come alive through play.

(Registered Early Childhood Educators)

Located in Ajax, Ontario, we serve families who value small class sizes, personalized programming, and a staff that is committed to making every moment meaningful. Our team is made up of passionate RECEs (Registered Early Childhood Educators) and trained support staff who believe that each child has a unique gift waiting to be nurtured.

Foundational Pillars

Rooted in the Ministry of Education’s framework How Does Learning Happen, our program is built on four foundational pillars:

  • Belonging
  • Well-Being
  • Engagement
  • Expression

We create safe spaces where children can thrive emotionally, socially, and cognitively — with structured routines that foster independence, freedom to explore, and activities that spark wonder.

When Learning Happens Life Changes!

Our Vision

We believe children thrive when the day feels predictable, nurturing, and filled with opportunities to practice real-life skills. Through play and guided interactions, children naturally begin to participate in group time, follow simple directions, communicate their needs, and build comfort within a routine. At A Special Kind of Play Nursery School, children learn through hands-on play, consistent routines, and meaningful connection. 

Our Team

Our educators lead with warmth, patience, and intentionality. Every activity, whether a sensory bin, a group song, or a quiet moment on the carpet, is planned with purpose. Teachers model language, guide social moments, support emotional expression, and create environments where children feel confident to try new things. Our classrooms are intentionally small and calm so every child feels seen, supported, and safe to explore at their own pace.
