Paramount Family Centre

About Us

CARING FOR CHILDREN. LOVING THE WHOLE FAMILY.

Since 1993, we’ve been giving kids room to grow and parents peace of mind their children are in the best hands.

GUIDED BY FAITH, GROUNDED IN LOVE

Trusting someone else to care for your child isn’t easy. We know this is a big step—and we don’t take the responsibility lightly. At Paramount Family Centre, we believe every child is a unique and valuable gift from God, deserving to be known and nurtured—not just supervised.

That’s why we’ve created a place that feels like a second home—for both you and your child. Guided by Christian values, we care with patience, respect, and love—welcoming families of every background and belief into our community.

OUR HISTORY

Paramount Family Centre opened in November 1993 as a ministry of Paramount Drive Alliance Church, serving just 32 children.

Over the years, our programs have grown steadily, and today we’re proud to provide care and support for more than 75 families across Hamilton and Stoney Creek.

OUR MISSION

Paramount Family Centre is a Christian childcare centre that embraces every child as a unique gift from God, nurturing the holistic development of children in an environment of kindness, respect and forgiveness. We foster a community of creative and compassionate playmates who treat others as they would want to be treated.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

We believe that positive early learning experiences set the foundation for lifelong growth. Each child is unique, so we follow an Emergent Approach to play-based learning—an approach that nurtures the whole child through physical, cognitive, language, emotional, social, and spiritual development. For us, these aren’t just classroom skills—they’re tools for life.
