About Us
Who we are 
We wish to acknowledge this land on which the A.A.A.S.I. operates. For thousands of years it has been the traditional land of the Huron-Wendat, the Seneca and, most recently, the Mississaugas of the Credit River. Today, this meeting place is still the home to many Indigenous people from across Turtle Island and we are grateful to have the opportunity to work on this land.
Alderwood Action After School Inc. is a not for profit child care centre governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. Each year the Board members are elected/re-elected by childcare centre families at our Annual Meeting.
AAASI was formed in May 1984 when five concerned parents got together to discuss after school care for their school aged children. Registration for 25 children was completed in June for September 1984.
At the time, there were three staff members operating in two classrooms within Sir Adam Beck Junior School. In September of 1999 the new Alderwood Community Centre opened which included a new childcare centre consisting of four exclusive use classrooms. The centre was built with capital funding from the City of Toronto and from AAASI’s own resources. Today we operate four classrooms within the Alderwood Centre and four classrooms within Sir Adam Beck.
Our Registered Early Childhood Educators and Assistants strive to provide a program that meets the needs of the children’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs through a variety of interesting and age appropriate activities. AAASI runs an inclusive child care program so children who require more support can fully participate.
