Preschool and Out of School Care

Preschool at Hamilton Community Centre
_MG_7380This program is designed to develop the whole child intellectually, socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively. Programs are based on the children's expressed interests and developmental needs and are planned on a week-to-week and/or month-to-month basis. We provide a variety of indoor activities for children to explore and investigate - including ones that address the diverse backgrounds of the children in our care, their families and our community. Emphasis is placed on learning through play and children having the freedom and opportunity to develop five developmental selves (social, emotional, physical, intellectual and creative) by engaging in experiences that are enriching, interesting and fun.
