Happy Valentine's Week!

Our preschoolers have been busy spreading love and creativity! These beautiful paintings were made especially for Valentine's Day and remind us of the individuality and imagination we see in every child at CICC. 🌈❤️

At our Integrated Preschool, we celebrate each child’s unique journey. Every splash of paint, milestone, and moment of connection matters, thanks to our amazing volunteers and staff who make it all possible. 💛

More families are receiving early support through our Hospital-to-Home (H2H) program — now supporting the NICU at St. Michael’s Hospital Unity Health Toronto, right where it matters most.🏥✨

For two year in a row, H2H has earned the highest rating from the Impact Genome Registry—placing us in the top 1% of impactful programs. 🏆

We’re not just filling gaps; we’re transforming lives through early intervention. A huge thank you to our partners for making this possible!

As we look back on our 2025 milestones, one achievement we’re especially proud of is the launch of the Hospital-to-Home (H2H) program at St. Michael’s Hospital Unity Health Toronto 💙

Launched in October, H2H was developed by Centennial Infant and Child Centre (CICC) in partnership with St. Michael’s NICU to support families whose babies experience extended stays in the NICU.

By beginning early intervention right in the hospital, the program helps parents build confidence, skills, and support as they prepare to transition home — during one of the most vulnerable moments in their journey.

This program represents a year of collaboration, dedication, and shared commitment to families — and we’re grateful to everyone who helped make it possible.

Together, we’re strengthening support for families, from hospital to home.

Powering Potential Campaign

The most important campaign the Foundation has ever undertaken for the Centre. $10 MILLION is needed to purchase, build or renovate, and furnish a new larger and more accessible site for the Preschool and other programs. Montgomery Sisam Needs Assessment recommended that Centennial requires between 16-000 to 20-000 square feet of physical space to adequately accommodate it's programs. That is more than double the space that we currently occupy. Your contribution to the campaign can help make our dream a reality. To learn more about making a Powering Potential Campaign Pledge or to discuss recognition options for pledges of $75,000+ please contact Debra Bond-Gorr, CFRE.
