​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.)
Half Day Summer Art Camps - July/August 2021
​We are also running Half-Day Summer Art Camps. All programming features:
  • low ratio cohorts, with one educator and two student counsellors
  • minimum 12 children; maximum 15
  • teacher and children are the only ones to use the space
​Check out our reviews on Facebook (or Google us) or read some of the Testimonials parents have submitted to us (posted with permission).
Daily Health Screening
Please complete the daily health screening questionnaire prior to your child's arrival at Good Morning, between 6:00 AM and 8:45 AM.

The questionnaire must be completed by/for every individual that will enter the building at 174 First Ave (parents/siblings/caregivers). No one will be granted access to Good Morning without completing the daily health screening.
​Our Covid-19 Polices and Procedures can be found here.
Note: ALL of our educators have now received two doses of Covid-19 vaccines; all student (teen) counsellors have received at least one dose and will be fully immunized ASAP.

We update our public Facebook page fairly regularly throughout the school year, but for parents, family, friends and caregivers of current students and alumni of Good Morning, we have a Closed Facebook Group where we usually post more photos.

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
