GREEN APPLE KIDS
Junction · Runnymede · Baby Point · Kingsway

Rooted in Toronto’s West End since 2009.

Located on Dundas St. W near Jane St., Green Apple Kids is the larger of our two centres – eight classrooms (1 Infant, 4 Toddler, 3 Preschool) opening onto a big, beautiful, private natural playground.

Closer to Bloor West? Families a little south often consider our Windermere Kids centre too.

Black railings lead to the front entrance with the Green Apple Kids wordmark in Orange and logo in green afixed to the exterior. Outdoor potted plants fill black urns and a bike with a toddler seat on the back is locked to the bike stand.

— A SHARED APPROACH

Two centres, one standard of care.

Green Apple Kids and Windermere Kids are run by the same independent, privately owned company. Both centres follow the same approach: welcoming environments, inquiry-led and play-based learning, dedicated educators, nutritious food, and a commitment to providing exceptional childcare.

What changes between them is the building and the neighbourhood around it. What doesn’t change is how your child is cared for. We have two centres maintaining the same standard of excellence. Two centres we’re equally proud of.

Rooms are designed to inspire curiosity and play. Shelves sit at a child’s height, so children choose their own materials instead of asking an adult for them. Art supplies, books, blocks and toys stay out and accessible. Materials are age-appropriate and open-ended – things that can be used more than one way and invite imagination. Walls are kept calm – neutral tones with an accent wall or two – so the rooms feel warm not loud. Colour comes from the children’s own artwork, displayed where they can see it, take pride in it, and know this space is theirs.

“We LOVE Green Apple, literally could not be happier with the experience both kiddos’ have… From the quality of teachers and curriculum to the best outdoor space I’ve ever seen at a daycare, our kids are excited to go to ‘school’ every single day.”

— PART OF THE COMMUNITY

A neighbourhood centre, in the truest sense.

Most of the children at Green Apple come from right around here – Junction, Runnymede, The Kingsway and Baby Point families, walking or driving a few minutes to drop-off. They grow up alongside neighbours they’ll later meet again at the park and in kindergarten. We like it that way. We believe a centre works best when it belongs to its community, not just sits in it.

The West End is one of Toronto’s greenest pockets, and our outdoor space is meant to reflect that. Green Apple’s playground is private and natural – room to dig, play, ride, and tend the garden, enclosed and secure, used every day in every season. Time outside isn’t a weather-permitting extra here; it’s a primary focus.
