Covid-19 News: All of our educators and student assistants are fully immunized against Covid-19. We have a HEPA filter air cleaner running continuously, and have windows open for ventilation year-round.
​Welcome!
Well-loved by Ottawa families since 1981, Good Morning Creative Arts and Preschool is a cooperative, parent-run, licensed child care program, offering creative and educational programs for children ranging from ages 18 months to Grade 6.
In our happy environment we encourage children to explore, interact and discover. We begin each class the same way – with a genuinely warm welcome for each child who walks through our door! 
Take a Tour!
Normally, you'd be welcome to take a tour in person, but for now, please enjoy this tour with our lovely Preschool and Beyond kids. (All programs use the same space.)

Local Parents Say...

"I have complete confidence in the teaching staff to take care of our son both intellectually and emotionally... His imagination is developing and we are constantly charmed and amazed." 
- Leopold

"Our two daughters loved their experience at Good Morning. They played, made friends, discovered, dramatized, problem-solved, created and had fun with their peers and a wonderful group of teachers. Their creativity, individuality and social development were well nurtured in the very positive environment created by the teachers at this special school."
- Jane
