We provide high quality care for children by offering a safe, creative, developmentally challenging, and nurturing environment, to facilitate the physical, emotional, social and intellectual growth of each child.

The centre is Closed for ALL Statutory Holidays.
The centre will close with the SD46 for Winter Break in December and the last week in August for deep cleaning and turnaround for fall. The first two weeks in July every year staff take vacation and the centre will reopen following this closure. July’s fees will be adjusted accordingly.
We will also be closed for two separate staff training days during the year to attend conferences together and meet our licensing training requirements. Families affected will be notified well in advance.
If there are centre closures due to staff illness or inclement weather, families will not be reimbursed for those days.
