Live Draw for the Picture raffle!

Last day to get your raffle tickets! We will draw tomorrow at 10:00am and contact the lucky winner!

Winter Scene Raffle! This gorgeous print generously donated by Dino Nardini is valued at $150 and would make a wonderful gift. It is in a beautiful wood frame and measures 24"x20". We will sell squares for $5 each and will draw as soon as all the squares are taken! In the event that all squares don't sell, we will still draw by December 11th as long as a minimum of 30 squares have sold. E-transfers can be sent to [email protected], or PM us for alternate payment ...arrangements. All proceeds will go toward the purchase of a laptop for our Centre. We have frequent team meetings with service providers, and many are being held virtually due to Covid-19. A laptop will greatly help in supporting our Inclusion Coordinator and staff to effectively collaborate with each child's early intervention team. Thank you for your support!

Updated Public Health information regarding new/worsening cold symptoms while at daycare.

When we moved to our new site, we installed baby gates in our classroom doorways. It didn't take long to see they weren't going to hold up in our busy little Centre! Yesterday, with the help of the Halifax Protestant Infant Foundation and Kent Building Supplies, we had these beautiful half-doors installed! They look great, we are happy! :)

Today our Preschool class made applesauce!
