Celebrating 40 Years!
Canaland first opened its doors on April 1, 1985, with just two kids and two staff members—and look at us now! For the past 40 years, we’ve had the joy of teaching, caring for, and growing alongside so many incredible children and families.
We’re celebrating 40 years of Canaland with a special birthday week full of fun activities, memories, and a look back at where it all began!
