Since ASCY began in October of 1994, we have grown to become a well integrated and highly utilized component of the early learning and child care community in Hamilton. Early investment in quality care and education has improved later outcomes of success for all children regardless of socio-economic background. We believe that by fostering open pathways to professional learning and offering services that support early years and child care practitioners and other professionals working with children, we are contributing to positive outcomes for children and youth.
