The Community Resource Centre is a "community benefit agency." Our vision is a community where everyone has a chance to succeed. Our Child Care and Ontario Early Years programs support families in helping their children reach their full potential while our Outreach and Support Services work with families most in need. Because the first six years of life are so important...". Our Child Care Program is professionally led by qualified Early Childhood Educators. The facilities are licensed by the Ministry of Children and Youth Services. Our goal is to provide a safe, caring and nurturing environment for children aged 2 1/2 to 12 years old. Preschool programming is available Monday to Friday from 7a.m. to 6 p.m. at our Fergus sites, J.D. Hogarth School and St Joseph School.
Welcome to play with us at our new location in Stratford Ontario, 41 Water St., where we enjoy Nature both outside and inside our specially prepared exploration environment. We have choices of activities so that children can experience using their own guidance to follow their interests and learn to respect themselves, others and the environment they share and take turns in. Practical life skills develop hand-eye coordination and concentration. Sensorial refinement materials help hone perceptions and integrate sensory input. Language and math activities are self-correcting and offered in a confidence building progression. Music, art, science, geography choices raise appreciation for diversity of cultures and beauty of our Earth.

We are a Private Catholic Preschool open to all denominations. Our school takes pride in a quality early childhood education programs. Academic understanding in preparation for elementary school is provided through Montessori Methods and materials. The Montessori Method is based on the premise that education should be an aid to life. In order to develop their physical, intellectual, and spiritual powers to the fullest, children must have freedom; freedom to be achieved through order and self-discipline. Respect for a child's personality and trust in his inner potential are prerequisite to the foundation of an adequate educational alliance. The Montessori Method is designed to assist the child in developing the skills and self-confidence needed to fulfill his/her potential. Religion as well as the virtues of life are part of our core teaching material. We are a school where the child develops self-discipline and learns to live in peace and harmony with others.
