Palisades Centre For Early Learning

Centres for Early Learning includes a group of nine independently owned and operated Child Care Centres throughout Metropolitan Toronto. Since 1975, Centres for Early Learning has been offering quality care for children from infants to 12 years of age. Our founders, Amina and Aziz Bhaloo opened their first Preschool Centre in Nairobi, Kenya in 1970. After immigrating to Canada, Amina worked as a Preschool Teacher and Supervisor before deciding to venture out and start her first Centre, Lori Gardens, in October 1975. The need for more day care spaces, at a cost efficient and high quality level in the city soon became apparent and the following year, November 1976, Palisades was started.
