Child Care Centre

Children are the future it is important that they, too, have a place to learn and develop. The multicultural Child Care Centre provides quality care for children of refugees and immigrants participating in SODS programs.

The multicultural program promotes respect for all traditions, languages and cultures. Children learn through free play, indoor, and outdoors, field trips, and structured activities based on various themes. Activities are designed to stimulate creativity, social skills and early childhood development. Activities are also based on the many cultures in the community and parents are often involved in planning programs and special cultural celebrations.

Children registered at the Child Care Centre  benefit from its multicultural staff. All child care workers speak more than one language and are trained in Early Childhood  Development and First Aid. Translated materials or interpreters are available if necessary.

Volunteers, students and people on work placements often help at the Child Care Centre. These people are supervised by staff members and help with daily activities, field trips and teach songs, games and crafts.
