Founded in 1971, Leaside Daycare Centres (LDCC) provided a service for infants that was almost non-existent in Toronto at the time. The original site, in the lower level of a duplex on Laird Drive, provided space for 12 children. Expansion was imperative.In 1972, 100 McRae was purchased to provide infant care to 35 children. The residential setting was deliberately chosen and provided an ideal setting for babies, and a pleasant area for their walks.The Preschool Division opened in 1975 at 73 Fleming, at the request of parents interested in continuing care beyond age 21/2.Again a residential setting was chosen, and space provided for 35 children, aged 21/2 to 5.In 1984, a group of parents from the Fleming Centre organized a non-profit group and petitioned the Board of Education of East York to provide space for school age daycare in Leaside. Space was provided in Rolph Road for 40 children from kindergarten through grade 4. Rolph Road Daycare Centre, a non-profit organization run by a parent board, employed LDCC to operate and staff the program.In October of 1994, after a process of more than a year, LDCC converted to non-profit centres. By way of government program, LDCC was purchased by Rolph Road Daycare. Despite the change, the programming, staff and philosophy of the daycare centres remain intact. Indeed, Rolph Road Daycare is carrying on business as LDCC. All centres are operated to provide community care.
