A place where discovery becomes second nature. We believe that every child has the right to thrive. Formerly Owl Child Care, we are now RisingOaks Early Learning Ontario — a registered charity with a 40-year history of providing early learning and care across Waterloo Region. At RisingOaks Early Learning | John Sweeney, we provide care for children from birth to 12 years of age. Our educators are experts in supporting lifelong learning for each and every RisingOaks child. We know that early learning experiences through play create well-rounded, healthy people as they grow and make their mark on the world. From our rich history as Owl to our bold new future as RisingOaks, our values continue to guide us and benefit RisingOaks families.
