Each child care centre in our corporation is licensed by the Ministry of Education and must comply with the regulations of the Child Care and Early Years Act of Ontario.

With the guidance of specially trained staff, children grow in a Catholic environment that fosters: - Self esteem and decision making abilities - Creativity, curiosity, initiative and independence - Physical activity which develops gross and fine motor skills - Interaction, communication and respect for others Our childcare programs are in keeping with the fundamental characteristics and objectives that distinguish Catholic Schools and complement the programs of the Hamilton Wentworth Catholic District School Board.
