KEyON
Everyone attending EarlyON programs must now be registered through KEyON, a digital sign in application. Each adult attending programs will need to make their own account; children can be shared between accounts.
After creating an account online, you will be given a key fob that will be scanned each time you attend a program. This will help us track attendance and determine the best kind of programming for our community. You can also use your online account to view calendars from all EarlyON programs across Perth County.
The Town of St. Marys EarlyON Centre offers a variety of free programs for parents, caregivers and children ages zero to six years. These play-based and interactive programs are a great opportunity for you and your family to explore, learn and create connections within the community.

| Play & Learn (Various locations) |

Play and Learn is a play group for families with children aged zero to six years old. We provide a safe and engaging environment for children to learn through play and build connections with other families. During the summer months, siblings over the age of 6 are welcome to attend our outdoor Play & Learn programs. We try to set up near a playground so that all interests can be met. Please know, however, that our programming will continue to be geared towards ages 0 - 6 years. |
| Play & Read (at the St. Marys Public Library - Queen Street entrance) |

Play & Read is a program for families with children aged 0 to 6 years. Activities based on favourite stories are presented for you to enjoy together. *Please use the Queen Street entrance (next to the Tim Hortons) of the St. Marys Public Library. |
