Our Mission

Our Centre serves Inuit children and youth from birth to 13 years of age and their families in the southern urban setting of the City of Ottawa. In partnership with parents and the community, the OICC fosters strong Inuit children, youth and families by providing a learning environment that will enhance children's overall well-being, adaptability and strength in a proud Inuit cultural environment.

Our Programs We believe that children deserve a nurturing and caring child centred environment that supports the Inuit culture and language. We believe that parents are a child’s first and most important teacher. Our program supports the whole family as children are celebrated for the unique and special people that they are. We work in partnership with families to ensure that children receive the best care and early education possible.
