Early Years

Pirurviapik Child Care Program

About the Program

Pirurviapik is dedicated to providing high-quality, culturally enriching early learning experiences for Inuit toddlers and preschoolers. Our mission is to nurture children’s development and equip them with the skills, confidence, and strong sense of identity needed for future success in school and in life.

We offer a licensed, year-round child care program that provides full-day care for children between the ages of 18 months and 5 years. Guided by Ontario’s How Does Learning Happen? framework and the principles of Inuit Qaujimajatuqangit (IQ), our program creates a safe, inclusive, and culturally responsive environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Licensed by the Ministry of Education, Pirurviapik integrates culturally relevant learning experiences that support children’s cognitive, social, emotional, physical, and language development while fostering a strong connection to Inuit culture, language, values, and traditions.

The Pirurviapik Child Care Program is licensed to serve 15 toddlers and 24 preschool-aged children, providing a nurturing and engaging environment that supports each child’s unique strengths, interests, and developmental journey.
