This collection of wooden blocks may look ordinary but they represent something very special. These blocks have been carried, kicked, stepped on and jumped off by hundreds of children over the years – one day a castle, the next day a doll house. Children have left their marks on these toys and they have taught children a great deal through play.
In 1981, the YMCA of Niagara opened its first child care centre. A much needed service as more and more women began entering the workforce while raising young families.
These toys remind us that high quality child care is a building block of healthy child and family development.
