When Learning Happens Life Changes

Welcome to Special Kind of Play Child Care

At A Special Kind of Play Nursery School, children learn through hands-on play, consistent routines, and meaningful connection. Our classrooms are intentionally small and calm so every child feels seen, supported, and safe to explore at their own pace.


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.

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.

Special Kind of Play Child Care - Where Learning is Fun!

Here, learning happens from everyday moments:

  • Joining circle time
  • Taking turns
  • Exploring materials
  • Expressing feelings
  • Making choices
  • Building independence
  • Working through challenges
  • Connecting with peers
  • Feeling proud of themselves


This blend of play and routine helps children build the skills they need to navigate the world around them, with confidence and ease.

Our Values

  • Warmth
  • Safety
  • Consistency
  • Curiosity
  • Emotional support
  • Independence
  • Community partnership

Our goal is simple: 

To help children feel safe, confident, and capable as they explore the world around them.

Events - Moments That Matter

Preschool Events in Ajax | Simple. Meaningful. Community-Focused.

At A Special Kind of Play Nursery School, we believe in creating intentional moments that strengthen community, celebrate growth, and support families. Our events may be few, but they are thoughtfully planned to make a lasting impact on both children and parents.


  • 🎄 Christmas Party


Each year, we host a joyful Christmas celebration for our preschool children and their families. With festive music, crafts, treats, and lots of laughter, this event is a warm, memory-making moment that brings our entire school community together. It’s a time for children to shine and for parents to join in the celebration of the season.


  • 🎓 Graduation Celebration


Our Preschool Graduation Party is a proud and emotional highlight of the year. We honour each child’s growth, accomplishments, and transition to their next stage of development. Families are invited to witness and celebrate this milestone through songs, certificates, and shared joy. It’s more than a ceremony — it’s a celebration of who your child is becoming.


  • 💬 Mom Support Workshops


Parenting isn’t easy, and we believe moms deserve support too. Throughout the year, we offer Mom Support Workshops— safe, welcoming sessions designed to encourage, equip, and uplift mothers in our community. Topics range from emotional well-being to parenting strategies, and each session is rooted in real-life connection and care.

These workshops are optional, free to attend for enrolled families, and part of our commitment to nurturing the whole family, not just the child.
