Registration costs can vary for the six-week program. Prices are dependent on partnership agreements, school contracts, number of students and programming commitments.

Each week, your child will have an hour long class led by a trained Little Medical School instructor. A graduation ceremony will be held during the last class where your child will receive a Little Medical School diploma! Take home medical equipment varies by class. See the individual programs for details.

The standard six week long programs are usually held at your child’s school. You will see the location when you register your child for the class. Camps will be held at various locations which will be shown on the registration page.

Absolutely! Your child’s safety is a top priority for Little Medical School of Ottawa.  Each instructor and volunteer must pass a thorough background check by Ottawa Police department before being hired or allowed to teach classes.

The great thing about this is YOU get to decide where to have your party! The possibilities are virtually endless! We will come to a location of your choice to lead a fun-filled, unique and educational program for your child’s birthday. All locations will be assessed from safety and security perspectives.

You will see the location when you register your child for the class. Camps, badge classes and custom classes will be held at various locations which will be shown on the registration page.  Don’t see it??  Just let us know who to speak with at your child’s school and we’ll make it happen!!

We follow the Mixed-Aged Grouping teaching philosophy.  Mixed-Aged Grouping allows the instructor to focus on teaching each child according to his or her own strengths, unlike in same-grade classrooms that often expect all children to learn at the same pace.  The spirit of cooperation and caring in this environment makes it possible for children to help each other as individuals, not see each other as competitors and often allows the older children to have the opportunity to serve as mentors and to take leadership roles.

We have specific courses, Little Medical School PREK and we have Little Veterinary School for PREK, that are tailored to for 4-5 year old students.

No! Any course can be attended at any time.

Visit our registration page to look for public venues.  They will be noted as such.

Absolutely yes! In fact, our instructors can teach each child based on his/her learning capability.

As for camps, unfortunately, it’s too soon for your 3YO child to attend our camps. We are a day camp that does not have a licence for child care. We are only eligible to have children 4 years of age and older based on the government of Ontario rules.

Reach out to us to learn more about our mini medics program, developed specifically for children aged 1-3 YO.

We suggest trying our home kits, available on our website, they include similar activities and they come with a real working stethoscope.
