Right in the heart of downtown Toronto, Scotia Plaza is located at the corner of Yonge St. and King St. West. Though it is a busy area, our separate entrance and welcoming staff offer a warm, engaging, and nurturing environment for your children.
Our location is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff.
We have 3 designated drop-off/pick-up parking spots in front of our main entrance at Grand Opera Ln, just off Adelaide St. Once you enter our site, you’ll find 2 places for stroller storage and 4 spacious, bright rooms – each equipped with a webcam that allows caregivers to stay up to day on their child’s day. Our lovely outdoor space is tucked away from the hustle and bustle of the streets and allows our children to enjoy the sunshine while working on their gross motor skills. We can accommodate 73 children in our Infant, Toddler, Preschool and Kindergarten programs.
This location offers full-time and backup care.
Children are provided 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
My name is Anita Baidya and I am the Director at the Kids & Company’s Scotia Plaza centre. I am a recipient of a RECE Degree and an MBA. I began my career in child care over 28 years ago and started with Kids & Company in April 2012. After having my daughter, I knew that a career in child care was what I wanted to do. My wonderful family includes my husband Samor, and my daughter Satabdi. In my spare time, I love to travel and explore new places whenever possible.
I love that our Scotia Plaza centre is in the heart of downtown and many parents work very close by and can even drop in for a visit during the day. Especially when parents are having a difficult day, a quick hug from their child makes things much better! Now that you know a bit more about me, I would love to meet you. I hope you come to visit our Scotia Plaza centre and see for yourself how Kids & Company can provide the right care and education for your child.
Kids & Company’s Infant program welcomes newborns up to roughly 15 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 15 months and 2.9 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 2.9 - 6 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.
