In our before school program children participate in social activities with peers and are escorted to their bus. In our after school program, our school aged children are greeted by a their Program Staff each day off their bus, allowing for a sense of stability and familiarity to develop. Program staff provide a variety of enriching activities and materials that encourage child led learning that is based on the child’s needs and interests. In addition to active play, the children have the opportunity to socialize with their friends while participating in engaging activities.

Families
As a licensed child care provider we collect, use and disclose personal information in order to better serve our families.
For our families, the primary purpose for collecting information is to provide the best child care possible, adequately meeting the needs of the children and families.
A second primary purpose is to meet the legislative requirements of the Ministry of Education, Child Care and Early Years Act.
A third primary purpose is to collect from and/or disclose personal information with Resource Support Agencies to assist us in providing the best child care possible and adequately meet the needs of the children.
A fourth primary purpose is to collect the necessary personal information so that we can contact the appropriate people in the event of an emergency.
It would be rare for us to collect or disclose any personal information without the families express consent, but this might occur in a case of urgency, (e.g., parent or guardian is unavailable), or where we believe the Family would consent if asked and it is impractical to obtain consent, (e.g. a child’s well being is at risk).
Permission/consent forms are provided to families prior to disclosing information about a child, unless the well being of the child is at risk or a legislatively mandated program seeks information, (e.g. FACS).
A consent form is signed on the registration form to allow the taking of photographs of children in the centres.
