Leaving my children when it was time to return to work was one of the hardest things I've done as a mother. However from the first day I left my boys at Kinder corner I knew that there was no better place they could be. The facility is well equipped while still maintaining a comfortable feel and the staff there are second to none. My boys are loved and cared for everyday by the best! They enjoy a wide variety of stimulating activities including french. As an educator myself I can only say that I love the program!Read more
It is our goal to provide challenging experiences appropriate to the developmental needs of each child. In addition to providing stimulating experiences for children, we also believe that learning can be fun. Through positive reinforcement, encouragement and a warm and loving environment, our qualified staff encourages the children to develop self-esteem, pride, respect and an understanding of themselves and others. Our centres work in conjunction with area high schools and colleges by allowing students to participate in our program while obtaining credits through cooperative education.
All children are special and each has his/her own personality, strengths and weaknesses and rates and ways of learning. As educators, it is our responsibility to tap into how a particular child learns, and develop strategies to help the child master all basic skills. It is our responsibility to capitalize on a child's strengths and give them the required tools to deal with their weaknesses. Smart Start Learning Centres is committed to helping the whole child develop and reach their potential. Emotional, physical, cognitive and social growth are all essential aspects of a child's development and thus our centre's programs are geared to promote these facets of a child's development. Children who feel secure and appreciated in their surroundings gain confidence. It is therefore one of our goals to create a safe, clean and secure environment for the children in our care. We will try our best to avoid numerous or frequent staff changes by giving our staff a pleasant work environment. This consistency for children increases the level of security.
In 1973, the Province of Ontario passed the Regional Municipality of Durham Act to establish Durham as one of five Regional governments in the Greater Toronto Area. The Act annexed and amalgamated 21 former municipalities of the counties of Ontario, Northumberland and Durham to form eight area municipalities: Ajax, Brock, Clarington, Oshawa, Pickering, Scugog, Uxbridge and Whitby. Members of the first Regional Council were elected late in 1973 and the Regional Municipality of Durham began operating on January 1, 1974.
