The Town of St. Marys EarlyON Centre offers a variety of free programs for parents, caregivers and children ages zero to six years. These play-based and interactive programs are a great opportunity for you and your family to explore, learn and create connections within the community.
December 25 - January 2: All EarlyON programs will be closed for the Holiday break. Regular programming will resume Monday January 5, 2026
Be sure to check out our Facebook and Instagram pages (@townofstmarysearlyon) for any changes to program locations or any cancellations due to inclement weather or extreme heat.
Everyone attending EarlyON programs must now be registered through KEyON, a digital sign in application. Each adult attending programs will need to make their own account; children can be shared between accounts.
After creating an account online, you will be given a key fob that will be scanned each time you attend a program. This will help us track attendance and determine the best kind of programming for our community. You can also use your online account to view calendars from all EarlyON programs across Perth County.
