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!

The Four Foundations
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.
For Toddlers to Kindergarteners
Enriching Every Child's Journey
Newstead Academy is located on the traditional territory of the Mississaugas of the Credit First Nation and other Indigenous peoples who have lived here over time. We are grateful to share this land as treaty people who learn, work, and live in the community with each other.
Newstead Academy is committed to creating and sustaining an equitable and inclusive learning and working environment. We encourage and actively seek applications from Indigenous, Black, racialized people, visible minorities, 2SLGBTQIA+ persons, all genders, and persons with disabilities.
