CHILD & YOUTH PROGRAMS
At the heart of the Eva Rothwell Centre, has always been our FREE child & youth educational programming for children and youth grades K to 12. Today, we continue to provide a wide range of innovative educational and developmental activities so children and youth are given opportunities to engage and succeed through physical, social, creative and educational programming.
Known as a ‘second home’ for many of our members, we ensure there are no barriers to access.
BREAKFAST PROGRAM

Students who are given nutritious breakfasts daily make significant improvements in learning, school attendance, behaviour and self-esteem.
In partnership with Tastebuds Hamilton, the Eva Rothwell Centre’s “Best Start” breakfast program ensures that children in need have access to a healthy breakfast in a safe, supervised environment to help each child start their day ready to learn.
