Our programs

At Newstead, We aim to provide a safe environment for our children, because we believe that if children feel safe, they can take risks, ask questions, make mistakes, learn to trust, share their feelings, and grow.
Our Programs focus on fostering creativity, critical thinking, and collaboration among children. Through engaging activities and personalized learning experiences, we empower our students to explore their interests, develop essential skills, and reach their full potential.

Your Child’s Successful Future

Starts with Early Education

Get ready to propel your child's development to a whole new level! Our educators are co-learners that spark children's intrinsic motivation to explore new ideas and to be persistent in the face of adversity. Wherever they might end up in life, our children will be ready to think bigger, feel stronger, and aim higher!

How Does Learning Happen?

The Four Foundations

Belonging

Families matter. Raising children to be responsible, responsive citizens is hard work. Having genuine, open conversations between families and staff makes the job just a little bit easier.

We believe that families want to be involved in their child's day. Work, school and life commitments often make that challenging. Communication between staff and families is vital to creating a community of mutual respect and trust. OCCC is a teaching facility. We support a variety of post-secondary students in achieving their goals. We also connect with community partners to link families to services. Community partners offer valuable services that complement the programs offered at OCCC.
