Our Centre
Our Kids & Company St. Andrew’s Church centre is located in the heart of downtown Toronto, near the intersection of Simcoe Street and Wellington Street West. We are situated on the second floor of the beautiful and historical St. Andrew’s Church, close by to the CN Tower, Roy Thompson Hall and David Pecaut Square, where we love to take our infants for stroller rides. Our centre can accommodate up to 37 children ranging from infant to school age. We are one of the smaller Kids & Company locations and our centre offer a cozy, intimate and nurturing learning environment. Our classrooms are bright and sunny with huge windows looking into our learning spaces. We have a great outdoor playground where our students can enjoy unstructured play and the outdoors year-round. At Kids & Company, we use an emergent curriculum and learn through play philosophy. We’re very proud of our proprietary programs! They include Alpha-Mania (pre-literacy and early reading), Mini Masters (art), and Munchkinetics (movement) and are designed to engage our children in a learning process that encourages self-expression, creativity, coordination and most importantly, fun! We often hear children singing the Alpha-Mania theme song before the teacher even begins the lessons, a clear indication of their enthusiasm about learning through play. You’ll find sign language in our baby and toddler rooms, and all our children participate in music, French, science & exploration and creative play throughout our day. Whether our children are participating in various proprietary programs, enjoying nutritious and delicious meals from our Kidco Kitchen chefs, or getting active outside, our centre is always filled with busy and smiling faces from both our children and teachers!

Meet The Director
My name is Nusrat Remtulla and I am the Centre Director at Kids & Company St. Andrew’s Church location. I am a recipient of a Masters in Educational Management and Leadership from the University of Nicosia and received a diploma in Early Childhood Education from George Brown. I started with Kids & Company in 2017 and have over 18 years of experience in the child care field. I have a daughter, Alisia, with my husband Akbar. Our family permanently moved to Canada in September 2017, in search of better education for our daughter. In my spare time, I enjoy cooking for my family and spending quality time with my daughter. My favourite thing about Kids & Company is that it provides children with a nurturing, safe environment which allows them to develop holistically. I believe that children learn through exploration and interacting with their environment and that each child deserves the opportunity to grow and develop at their own pace. Now that you know a bit more about me, I would love to meet you! I hope you come to visit our St. Andrew’s centre and see for yourself how Kids & Company can provide the right care and education for your child!
