Our Centre
Our Kids & Company Ottawa Albert centre is located at Lyon and Albert Street close to the Parliament buildings, the Museum of Nature and the main branch of the Ottawa Public Library. We have 5 classrooms that can accommodate up to 65 children ranging in ages from infants to 5 years. When you walk through our doors and see our bright classrooms and the smiling faces of our ever-so busy children and teachers, you immediately forget you are on the main floor of the Constitution Square building, and instead find yourself in a warm and nurturing environment. At our centre, everyone knows one another by name and we are like a tight-knit family! We have a fantastic group of teachers who take both pleasure and pride in seeing each child grow and transition through our programs.

My name is Natasha St. Pierre and I am the Co-Centre Director at the Ottawa Albert centre. I have been working with Kids & Company since 2006 and since that time, I have worked with every age group. I enjoy working with children and have a passion to teach, but I also love new challenges and enjoy connecting with families as a centre Director. To let you know a bit more about myself, I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and friends. I also enjoy reading, golfing, cross country skiing, and living life to the fullest.
I am Kayla Pattee, the Co-Centre Director at Kids & Company Ottawa Albert. I received my Early Childhood Educators degree at Algonquin College In Ottawa, Ontario and have been working in child care since 2008. In my spare time, I love to spend my time with my dog, watch movies, bake and spend time with my family. I also love to travel! Now that you know a bit more about us, we would love to meet you! Don’t hesitate to stop by the Ottawa Albert centre and see for yourself how Kids & Company can provide the right care and education for your family.
Programs Offered

Infants
-
At Kids & Company, we work with your family to ensure that the transition is a smooth one. Before your child’s first day, we’ll provide information on what to expect. We’ll create an integration schedule that is right for your child and every day that your child is in the classroom, you’ll receive a daily report that lets you know how your child’s day was. You’ll also be able to see him or her on our in classroom web cameras. The Centre Director will even send you an email before the end of the day if your child has a special “wow” moment that day.

Toddlers
-
Toddlers learn best in the context of relationships within small groups. There are fewer distractions and children’s activities are more focused. In Kids & Company toddler classrooms, our small groups allow very young children to make connections, form caring relationships, and learn to understand other children.

Preschool
-
All two-year-olds examine everything they see, hear, feel and observe in an attempt to make sense of the world around them. In our preschool programs, Kids & Company teachers interact, observe and interpret the interests of preschool students to encourage further discoveries by planning activities and investigations that expand your child’s learning.
