Our Staff
Our staff of early childhood educators and other experienced child care professionals maintain an ongoing program plan to foster physical, social, intellectual, and emotional growth. Creative independence, self-help skills, and community awareness are also considered when planning monthly programming.
Parents are encouraged to talk with the staff about anything related to their child. Parent interviews are by request. This will provide an opportunity for both parents and staff to discuss your child's progress and observed needs further.

Menu and Nutrition
We offer a well-balanced menu that follows Canada’s Food Guide and is trans-fat-free. With more whole grains and less salt, we offer the healthiest and tastiest foods possible. Children receive a hot, nutritious lunch and two snacks daily.
Weekly menus are posted. An independent catering company provides the hot lunch, and our staff prepares the morning and afternoon snacks.
