Program Statement

We value the relationships and connections that we have with a variety of
agencies that provide learning and support to our educators, children and
families. These include:

• Community Living Kingston
• KFLA Public Health
• Kids Inclusive
• Kingston Fire and Rescue
• Family & Children’s Services
• EarlyON Centres
• Maltby Centre
• Early Expressions Speech and Language
• Local School Boards
• St. Lawrence College ECE Program
• City of Kingston Child Care Programs

When children join our centre who have special learning needs or require
additional support to fully participate in our programs, an Individual Service
Plan is developed which outlines strategies to best support the child’s specific
needs, in consultation with their family and a referral may be made to the
appropriate community agency.

In addition to formal supports, our centres promote a sense of community by
encouraging special visitors to come to the centre and, at times, taking the
children on field trips to local museums, parks, stores, community service
sites, retirement homes and libraries. Through engagement with community members
of all ages, race, cultures, and developmental abilities, our children learn
pride and respect for the diverse community in which we live.
