The Tech Town location is in a one-story commercial building in the David Johnston Research & Technology Park. We are easily accessed by bus or car, and have several designated parking spots at the back of the building.
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.
Infant, Toddler and Preschool programs are available with the option of full-time, or backup care (depending on availability) . 8 classrooms can accommodate 104 children from newborn to 4 years old. Each classroom is bright and colourful and equipped with a webcam that caregivers can access throughout the day.
Each classroom is equipped with password-protected webcams and toys that support our emergent curriculum and learn-through-play philosophy. Parents appreciate the large windows that bring in natural light and allow children to see mom or dad arriving at pick-up. At the back of the building is a playground, which offers a jungle gym climber, sandboxes, and space for gross-motor play. We enjoy our quiet, natural surroundings and sometimes get to see Canadian Geese and Red-Tailed Hawks.
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 Ashlee Watt and I am the Director at the Kids & Company Tech Town centre. I have a diploma in Early Childhood Education from Niagara College and have been working at Kids & Company since September 2005. Having a career in child care is one of the most rewarding opportunities I could ask for; I have worked in this field for over 17 years and love it. Ever since I became a big sister at the age of three, I have known how much I love caring for children. It is so nice to know that I am making a difference in their lives.
To tell you a bit more about me, I am a stepmom to my son Kash and a dog mom to Mikey and Finnley. I love spending time with my extended family, especially my nieces and nephew.
The teachers at Tech Town are amazing; everyone works together and goes above and beyond what is expected of them. Our child care environment is warm, engaging and nurturing for children, as well as fun! My favourite thing about our centre is the natural light. We have lots of windows that let in so much light — it beams in on a sunny day!
Now that you know a bit more about me, I would love to meet you! I hope you come to visit our Tech Town 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.
