St. Lawrence Co-operative Day Care Incorporated believes children learn through play. Play is the cornerstone where children have the opportunity to actively explore and learn through materials and their environment. Play facilitates the development of the whole child including, social, emotional, physical, cognitive and creative abilities. In order for children's play to be meaningful, the experiences need to reflect each child's skills and needs.

Housing co-operatives exist for their members' common benefit. Like other co-operatives they promote individual responsibility, mutual help, democracy, equality, equity and solidarity.
