Newcomer Women’s Services, Toronto has helped hundreds of immigrant moms and their children adapt to a new life. Learning English is the passport to integration. But many women cannot afford childcare to focus on their studies. Our services are FREE to clients. And our child-minding support is first-class – delivered by accredited Early Childhood Educators and Assistants. Our program is culturally sensitive and designed to meet the social, emotional, cognitive, and physical needs of the children.

Until now, we have been meeting those physical needs in a basement. But this fall, we are getting a #NEWstart: moving to new premises with lots of natural light and space to place with hospital-grade air filters installed since COVID. And we are co-locating our school with other agencies for women in hopes of one day creating a hub of support.

For the next month, in honour of Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, we are asking moms and dads, and those of you with moms and dads, to help give our children a fresh start. New books and puzzles. A cozy space of comfort as the children begin to re-socialize post-pandemic. Therapeutic toys. Everything from cubbies to the kitchen sink. Yes, we even need 2 sinks. So please: get “in sync” with our drive for a sink and more. Help Newcomer Women’s Services launch a #NEWstart!
