The Consumers location is on the first floor of the office building at 251 Consumers Rd. We are located near Victoria Park Rd. and the 401, which is easily accessible by car or transit. There are 4 visitor parking spots in front of the building, as well as 2 designated spots available for Kids & Company caregivers near the entrance to make drop-off and pick-up easy.
Our 7 classrooms can accommodate 98 children from 2 months to 12 years old. Our programs include Infant, Toddler, Preschool, Kindergarten, and School Age, with the option of full-time, part-time, or backup care. We offer flex care at this location, where possible, to accommodate our families that have irregular schedules. Flex care allows you to pick the number of days you’d like your child to attend per week, and even lets you split the time between locations.
We have lovely landscaping surrounding our building and big, beautiful trees to provide shade for our adjoining playground. There are volleyball courts behind the building that our School Age children use during the summer months. And you’ll be able to keep up to date on your child’s day via the password-protected webcams in each classroom.
We provide our children with a hot lunch and 3 snacks each day, catered by our Kidco Kitchen. The Kidco Kitchen is founded on a fresh-from-scratch philosophy and our food contains no additives, preservatives, artificial flavours or colours. Learn more here.

Meet the Director
I am Bella Huang, the Centre Director of Kids & Company Consumers. I received a RECE diploma from Centennial College. I have been working in child care for over 7 years, and I have been working with Kids & Company since 2017. Working with children is such a rewarding career. It is fulfilling to be part of the children’s growth and watch them meet their developmental needs. Kids & Company is special to me because I love the diversity within the centre and the inclusion that is practiced among families and employees. The Consumers location is unique because many of the staff members have been working at this location for over a decade!
Kids & Company’s Infant program welcomes newborns up to roughly 18 months. Infants learn about the world around them through their senses, so exploration is critical to their development. Nurturing educators support the children while they take in their surroundings, encouraging them to experience everything the classroom offers; be it creative art, exploring with blocks, listening to songs or engaging in story-time. Our infant program encourages children to follow their own established routines, while becoming comfortable and secure in a new group setting.
Kids & Company’s Toddler program is for children between the ages of roughly 18 months and 2.5 years. Toddlers are mobile and eager to explore their environment. As they strive for independence, our educators use an Emergent curriculum approach to learning that supports each child’s individuality. Some of the most important learning outcomes of our toddler program are language development, socialization, self-help skills, and the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Kids & Company’s Preschool program is designed for children between the ages of roughly 2.5 - 5 years. Our educators interact, observe and interpret the interests of our children to encourage discoveries. Our Preschool program provides a foundation for developing greater independence and problem-solving skills; the program integrates new concepts into our children’s world view, promotes sharing and mutual respect, and prepares them for Kindergarten.
Kids & Company’s School Age program accepts children from 5 - 12 years old (Grade 1 - 6) and is available at select locations. Programs include Before and After School Care, School Break Programming, and Summer Camp. Classroom space exists for smaller groups to gather, and activities are designed to meet the needs of varying developmental levels, touching on arts, science, math, drama, imaginative play, and physical fitness. Educators are also available to provide academic support for children that wish to do their homework during After School Care.
