Kayla's Children Centre

What Kayla's Children Centre does

Kayla's Children Centre (KCC) is a registered Canadian charitable organization headquartered in Thornhill, Ontario, that delivers integrated educational, therapeutic, daycare, and recreational services to children with physical, developmental, and neurological disabilities between the ages of six weeks and 21 years. The organization was formed in May 2017 through the merger of Zareinu Educational Centre (founded 1989) and Project AIM Programs (founded 2007), and today serves more than 450 families through an eight-track school division, a multidisciplinary therapy clinic, a subsidized daycare, recreation programming, and an emerging camp offering, staffed by approximately 165 specialized clinicians and educators. KCC's service orientation is notable for its cultural-community positioning within the Greater Toronto Area Jewish community as well as for the breadth of its integrated one-stop model relative to typical single-modality disability providers.

KCC's clinical differentiation rests on specialized therapeutic modalities and capital-intensive equipment that are uncommon in the Ontario pediatric-disability market, including CME/MEDEK, Therasuit Intensive Therapy, the Trexo robotic gait-trainer, and the Elkie Adler Hydrotherapy Pool housed within the Mayim Aquatic Centre — described as the only fully accessible hydrotherapy pool in York Region and opened in 2022. Underlying technology is primarily standard third-party operational software (AlayaCare, CampMinder, Dayforce); KCC has not disclosed proprietary technology platforms, AI/ML capabilities, or data-driven clinical tools.

Revenue is generated through a diversified mix of fee-for-service therapy and tuition, government subsidies (Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care, Home and Community Care Support Services, York Region, Ontario Trillium Foundation, federal grants), camp and program fees, and philanthropic donations. The donor base includes institutional and individual philanthropists (the Robbins Family as a named core partner, the Serruya family) and corporate sponsors (CIBC, Jays Care Foundation, TELUS). As a registered charity, KCC does not publish financial statements and is governed by a board under CEO Yaffi Scheinberg rather than equity holders; near-term strategic priorities include the Summer 2026 launch of Camp Lionheart (positioned as Canada's only Jewish overnight camp for children with disabilities) and the recently launched Young Adult Healthy Living Hub extending service coverage to age 21.
