Developing a better way of learning

CEFA Early Learning School in Oakville offering Core Education & Fine Arts (CEFA).

CEFA Early Learning opened its first school over 20 years ago in B.C. and is now Canada’s leading private school for children ages one to five. Trusted by parents since 1998, CEFA has earned a reputation for developing intellect in the early years, and for providing children with the finest start in education, arts, and the humanities.

CEFA students develop and play along with other children who are the same age, and they are always learning and playing – not just learning, and not just playing. At CEFA, core fundamental skills are at the heart of our curriculum.

We offer an incredible opportunity for children to not only explore and learn, but to discover how they can contribute to the world.

We’re excited to be opening our first school in Ontario in Fall 2023 (pending construction). Applications are now open. Give us a call at (647) 910-2332. You can also email us at eighthline@cefa.ca or fill out an inquiry form. We’d love to hear from you!

Set them up for lifelong learning and wellbeing.

Studies like the Abecedarian Project, and the Perry Preschool Project, have shown that high quality early learning can have a powerful and lasting positive influence on children, and even the communities where they live. Children take with them the benefits and confidence of this foundation throughout their entire lives. As a private early learning school focused on Core Education and Fine Arts, our proprietary curriculum is the most sophisticated of its kind in Canada and designed to educate and develop your child—to get them kindergarten ready, and life ready. We believe your child’s education is one of the best investments you can make.
