Join us for a calming and inclusive EarlyON Play, Learn, Connect program designed specifically with sensory sensitivities in mind. This program offers a quieter, smaller group environment with gentle lighting, reduced noise, and sensory-friendly materials to support meaningful play and connection for children and their caregivers.
Children will explore hands-on activities at their own pace, while parents and caregivers engage in supportive conversation with EarlyON facilitators and each other. Autism Ontario will be on-site with resources, and ready to answer any of your questions.

This welcoming space encourages social, emotional, and physical development in a way that respects each child’s unique needs.

Who it's for:
Children aged 0–6 and their parents or caregivers who may benefit from a low-stimulation setting.

What to expect:
• Dimmed lights and soft sounds
• Smaller group sizes
• Flexible, child-led play opportunities
• Sensory tools and calming materials
• A supportive, judgment-free atmosphere

Registration required. Spaces are limited to ensure a comfortable environment for all participants.

Maximum 2 caregivers per family.
