Preschool and Out of School Care

Preschool
_MG_7380Preschool at Hamilton Community Centre 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 is planned on a week-to-week and/or month-to-month basis. We provide a variety of indoor activities for the children to explore and investigate - including ones that address the diverse back grounds 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.
