A place where discovery becomes second nature

We believe that every child has the right to thrive.

Formerly Owl Child Care Services of Ontario, we are now RisingOaks Early Learning Ontario — a registered charity and one of the largest centre-based, early learning and care providers in Waterloo Region. We provide early learning and care for children from birth to 12 years old.

Our educators are experts in supporting lifelong learning for each and every RisingOaks child. We know that early learning experiences through play create well-rounded, healthy people as they grow and make their mark on the world.

From our rich history as Owl to our bold new future as RisingOaks, our values continue to guide us and benefit our RisingOaks families.

What does all this mean to you?

It's really quite simple. With convenient locations, a rich history of success, a vision for the future, and our learning through play approach, RisingOaks is a centre of discovery you know you can trust for your child’s early learning experiences.

We’ve come a long way, but our values remain constant. RisingOaks is about creativity, learning, community, advocacy, and love.

It is because these values are so firmly rooted in our history, from the beginning as Owl Child Care to our present and future as RisingOaks Early Learning, that we are poised for the future and will continue to provide families with meaningful early learning experiences.

CREATIVITY:

As children learn how to learn through play, it naturally sparks a child's creativity. Discovering new ideas and concepts fosters their imagination.
