History

Belvoir Co-operative Nursery School first opened its doors in 1974 in an old farmhouse at Belvoir Farms on the river banks of the Thames River. The organization then moved to Sacred Heart Church in 1975, but had to relocate again in 1977 due to flooding and lack of space. In 1977, Belvoir Children's Center found its home in the basement of the Delaware United Church, where it flourished for over 40 years. In 1981, the organization changed its name to Belvoir Co-operative Nursery School to reflect its focus on parent involvement in early childhood education. In 2018, Belvoir relocated to a brand new state-of-the-art child care facility in Mount Brydges, where it continues to grow and expand its services.
