Here at Addae, we operate child care centres, youth-focused group homes, and license home daycares that align with our vision, policies, and procedures.
The management team brings over 20+ years of corporate experience, from serving on the leadership teams of global corporations to membership on directors' boards.

Our educational programs are rich in activities that focus on the child to help them unleash their potential so they can be the best version of themselves and pursue their passions in life. To do so, we strive to know the child, their interests, skills, talents, and intellectual level so we can prepare an individualized education plan that prepares the child for their future. Our youth group care program focuses on stabilization, building independence, and reuniting children with their families.
