One visit to Summerhill and you will feel the warmth of our School!

We believe that children deserve a safe and secure environment surrounded by the comforts of home and our school setting offers just that. We are situated on a half acre of property in a residential neighbourhood and we operate out of a large, converted ranch. Parents tell us it feels like home!

Our philosophy

At Summerhill Day School, we offer more than childcare. We provide an environment where children feel safe, supported, and ready to grow.

Located in Burlington’s Headon Forest neighbourhood, our school is intentionally small and thoughtfully designed within a residential setting. This environment helps children settle in more easily, creating a sense of familiarity and comfort from the very beginning.

Raising the Standard in Early Learning

Our participation in Halton Region’s Quality First initiative reflects our commitment to creating a high-quality, thoughtfully designed environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Tuition Reduction with CWELCC

Summerhill Day School is proud to be part of the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) program.
This helps make high-quality early learning more accessible, while maintaining the level of care and development we are committed to providing.

We offer a range of programs designed to support children at each stage of early development—from our Toddler program through to Nursery School and Senior Preschool, as well as seasonal Camps. Each program is thoughtfully structured to build confidence, independence, and social skills, while preparing children for the transition to school.

As children move through our programs, they experience a consistent, supportive environment that evolves with their needs—providing the right balance of guidance, structure, and opportunity to grow.
