Our newest centre called "Mary’s Place", is set to open in late 2024. This child care facility will provide care for infants to preschool children and will be located at George Brown College’s Limberlost Place, Waterfront Campus.
Limberlost Place is designed by Moriyama & Teshima Architects and Acton Ostry Architects Inc. and is the pinnacle for sustainable and green building innovation in Canada. Limberlost Place is truly ‘Made in Canada’, with all mass wood components being sourced nationally. The design provides generous spaces focused on wellbeing and sustainability. The building form and façade are shaped to maximize access to natural light and fresh air. Two solar chimneys located on the east and west facades will be used to create a sustainable system of natural convection, drawing air up and through the building from operable windows.
Located in close proximity to our Daphne Cockwell Centre for Health Sciences, Mary’s Place will be poised to develop interprofessional relationships with students, staff and faculty from our School of Dental Health, School of Health and Wellness, School of Health Services Management and Sally Horsfall Eaton School of Nursing.
Our centre serves as a model lab school for the diploma and degree programs in the School of Early Childhood and provides a training ground where college students are supported in developing their skills in working with children and families as they complete the hands-on component of their academic program.

The Childcare centres in the School of Early childhood have applied for and have been approved for the CWELCC program.
All of our lab schools will follow the guidelines from Toronto Children’s Services in the implementation of the CWELCC plan. As such, the fees are inclusive of all of our services. Therefore, we do not charge any additional fees for extracurricular activities or transportation, etc.
Children under the age of 6 are eligible for the fee reduction.
- In 2022 a fee reduction of up to 25% (to a minimum of $12.00/day) for eligible children was implemented, retroactive to April 1, 2022. The fees indicated include this reduction.
- In 2023 an additional reduction up to 52.75% of our base fees will be applied.
