Outdoor EarlyON Programs

Outdoor EarlyON Programs

There’s plenty to discover beyond the walls of our EarlyON Centres! Outdoor programs give children and caregivers opportunities to play, move, explore, and connect together in the fresh air.

Outdoor experiences look a little different across our EarlyON locations. Families visiting Thorold can join us for outdoor programming at the Thorold Public Library, while Fairview families can watch for walks and activities at nearby parks and green spaces. Our teams also plan outdoor play, neighbourhood walks, field trips, and special outings throughout the year.

Programs, locations, and activities change regularly, so sign up for our monthly newsletter to see what outdoor adventures are coming up at your EarlyON Centre.

Early Forest Explorers

Coming Soon, starting September 17, 2026

Every season brings something new to discover outdoors.

Early Forest Explorers invites children and caregivers to connect with nature through outdoor adventures in local green spaces. Families can explore at their own pace through hands-on nature play, with opportunities for activities like scavenger hunts, bird watching, storytelling, sensory experiences, nature searches, and seasonal discoveries.

Together, children can get curious, build confidence, be active, and experience how the natural world changes throughout the year.

There’s no bad weather when you’re dressed for the adventure!

Join us at Malcomson Eco Park on Thursdays from 9:30am – 12:30pm
