OVERVIEW

About Kayla's Children Centre:

Kayla's Children Centre is a 3-star rated charity with financial transparency in the most recent fiscal year and below average accountability to donors as seen in the C results reporting grade. For every dollar donated to this charity, 92 cents go to the cause. 

Founded in 2017, Kayla’s Children Centre (KCC) was the result of the merger of the Zareinu Education Centre of Metropolitan Toronto (founded in 1989) and Project AIM (founded in 2007). KCC provides educational, therapeutic, and recreational programs for infants, children, and teens with special needs. KCC also assists children’s families by offering support and relief. The centre is rich in Jewish education and tradition. Kayla’s Children Centre’s programs include school, camp and recreation, and therapy services.

Within the school program, KCC runs 14 classes and five academic tracks. These include an infant intervention program (ages two and under), a preschool program (18 months - 4 years), an elementary program (senior kindergarten - grade 8), a SKILLS program (grades 1-8), FAST program (senior kindergarten - grade 8) and satellite classes within Jewish day schools (grades 4-12). Through these programs, KCC offers an adapted curriculum tailored to children who benefit from individualized education and access to therapeutic support.

KCC’s camps occur in four different forms throughout the year: after-school, weekend, winter break and summer camp. In F2021, 150 kids benefited from this program. The summer retreat provides campers with a chance to spend a week away from home and take part in accessible outdoor activities. In F2021, the overnight summer camp was held over the course of 8 days and saw 50 campers. KCC also runs a week-long winter camp at the end of December that provides many fun winter activities.

Outside of camp and school, KCC offers therapy clinics. The Saul and Toby Feldberg & Family Therapy Centre provides a child-centric, multidisciplinary approach to pediatric care. The clinic offers six types of therapy including physiotherapy, occupational therapy, speech and language pathology, ABA therapy, social skills group, and music therapy. In F2021, the clinic offered 7,275 hours of therapy and served 198 children.

In September of 2022, KCC is set to open The Mayim Aquatic Centre & Elkie Adler Hydrotherapy Pool. This 60,000 square foot facility will provide equipment for children of all abilities to access hydrotherapy.
