English. However, we highly value multilingualism and incorporate the use of other languages, particularly French and Spanish, into our programming. This is done in a kid-friendly way that does not assume prior knowledge of the language. Your child will learn new words and phrases to encourage an early love and appreciation for our multicultural city.

We have access to indoor spaces at local churches, but Jardin Infantil Academy does not have any religious affiliation.

Just as we’ve done since 2020, we follow Toronto Public Health guidelines and ask parents to screen their children for symptoms.

Our programs are outdoor-based (and have been since before the pandemic!) We love spending time in nature.

Our indoor facilities, which may be used from time to time (and especially for our daycare kids and our Cooking Camp kids) are outfitted with air purifiers that use True HEPA filters. The filters are high-efficiency and greatly contribute to improved air quality.

We welcome children with a range of needs and abilities into our programs. We work with parents and guardians to better understand how to accommodate their children and create space for them to thrive. If your child requires one-on-one assistance to participate at camp, their support worker can attend with them at no extra cost.

JIA Summer Camp runs from July 4th to September 1st, 2023. Sessions are booked on a weekly basis. We recommend two weeks for the Theatre camp to fully benefit from the program and see the production through from start to finish. Year round camps run from October to June every year, including Winter, March & April breaks.

Our full-time summer camp program is open for children ages 4 to 10 and we also welcome 3-year-olds on a part-time basis as part of our school readiness program. Please contact us prior to registering 3 and 4 year olds.

Our daycare welcomes children beginning at 9 months of age, until kindergarten. The daycare does not provide after school programming for older children.

Yes, a healthy lunch is provided for daycare kids.

Lunch is also included at Cooking Camp, as it will be freshly prepared as part of the program. Campers should bring their own morning and afternoon snack, as well as a Tupperware container in case there are leftovers!

Lunch is not provided at Nature, Art and Theatre Camp. Campers are required to bring their own packed lunch and snacks (for a.m. and p.m.).

No, we have not opted into the program. After careful consideration, we decided it was important to maintain our existing child care model: small, private, and outdoor-focused.

Please contact Marta directly at jardininfantilacademy@rogers.com and we’ll be happy to help.
