Vision For A Quality Parent Child Centre…
In 1980 a group of young moms recognized that Oakville needed a place where parents could meet friends, share their stories, and learn more about parenting. A place that was healthy, safe and offered quality activities and programs for young children. This group of volunteer parents created a special place and called it Oakville Parent-Child Centre (OPCC).
OPCC’s mission is to support, nurture and empower children and their families as they learn and grow together! This is reflected in the commitment we make to our families, in our daily activities and interactions, and in the value we place on early childhood development. We hope to see you at one of our centres soon.
Oakville Parent-Child Centre is governed by a local volunteer Board of Directors. The role of the Board of Directors is to develop and monitor governing policies, review financial performance and monitor Executive Director performance against stated targets. The Board of Directors also sets the strategic plan for the organization.
Free, EarlyON Programs
What are EarlyON Programs? EarlyON Child and Family Centres support children, parents and caregivers in learning, growing and connecting together. We are passionate about supporting the well-being of all families in our community. The Oakville Parent-Child Centre is proud to offer FREE EarlyON programs for parents & caregivers of children newborn to under 6 years of age. Our programs are located through out Oakville and are welcoming spaces that provide fun ways for families to connect and grow together.
Available six days a week and featuring both an evening and weekend program we are always striving to provide a wide-range of inclusive quality services and supports that can be accessed by all.
Oakville Parent Child Centre (OPCC) believes that our EarlyON programs are a part of the support system that families need to do the most important work of parenting. We recognize that parents are the experts of their children and know them best. By inviting families into a village of support we aim to have parents participate, network and share in the creation of our family-centered values. Whether you are a new parent, returning parent or the loved one of a young child. Our high-quality EarlyON programs are designed with YOU in mind. We hope to see you soon!

Why we fundraise
Approximately 50% of Oakville Parent-Child Centre’s operational budget comes from government agencies. The remainder must be made up from program fees and DONATIONS, GRANTS and FUNDRAISING. These dollars are vital to ensure that we can continue to provide parent and child programs and parenting support to families here in our community. Every penny counts and we count on your support!
