Children learn best when their natural curiosity leads the way. At Active Start Seton, educators design environments and experiences that invite children to ask questions, test ideas, and express themselves through play. We blend literacy and numeracy foundations with hands-on activities in art, STEAM, movement, and nature exploration—so skills grow alongside confidence and love of learning.

Hear from our community.
The front desk staff are very friendly when we check-in and the teachers always have a positive attitude and genuinely care about each kid in the room. The facility is new and very clean, with lots of space in the rooms for kids to play. The daily updates on the app are very useful. It’s nice to see a daily description and photos of what the kids are learning and what types of activities they're participating in.
She has tried different ones but this one is her favourite. The staff are always welcoming to kids and I have personally seen a huge development in my child. She learns something new every day and she shares with us as well."
He is clearly active throughout the day and his development has skyrocketed since we began. I can tell by our conversations in the car on the way home what he has learned about and how excited he is. Our son has some health issues so communication is HUGE to us. The staff keep us informed of everything and we trust them completely. I would highly recommend Active Start to others."
