To Parents:

Thank you for your interest in Laurel Park Pre-School. We have successfully been operating a high quality program for children aged two and a half to five years. We are licensed by the Ministry of Community, Family and Children’s Services and governed by the Day Nursery Act. We are pleased to announce that we are participating in “Raising the Bar” in Early Childhood Education. This is a voluntary accreditation program for licensed child care programs that measures Best Practices, Professional Development and Quality Assurance. We feel that every child in Peel has a right to enroll in a high quality, early learning environment. By participating in this initiative, not only does your child benefit from it, but it will “raise the bar” for all child care programs in Peel Region. Our staff are committed to providing a high quality, caring and professional environment for your child.

We also have been successfully operating another daycare called BLUE ELEPHANT DAYCARE, located at 1322 Hurontario Street, Mississauga, ON. For more information on this daycare, please visit the Blue Elephant website www.blueelephantdaycare.com.

We at Laurel Park Pre-School provide a pre-school program specially designed for children aged two and a half to five years that is tailored to meet each child’s individual needs. We offer a half-day and full day program that provides children with enjoyment, rewarding experience and a feeling of self worth and independence. Children are given freedom to make choices while learning to accept the limits and respect each other. Children work and play together in an atmosphere that promotes co-operation, celebrating differences and accepting similarities. Parents can be rest assured that their child is left in a safe and happy environment.

Our program is designed to instill the grass roots of learning: Language (Reading and Writing), Math, Music, Art and Computers. We provide high-quality care and education that is built on a foundation of co-operation and trust that leads to mutually rewarding relationships involving children, parents and teachers. When such relationships are developed, children are likely to be well adjusted and have a strong sense of their own value and self-worth.

Some key features of our program:

• Staff include professionals with certificates in Early Childhood Education, (ECE)
• Activities are designed to enhance all areas of development in an age appropriate manner for each group
• Intermediate and Kindergarten enrichment program
• We offer a safe environment
• The Pre-School Centre meets the Ministry standards relating to such areas as the physical setting, emergency and fire procedures, cleanliness and high quality education
• Children are treated in a positive manner that enhances self-esteem and confidence
• Low teacher-student ratios thus promoting one on one attention and instruction
• Transportation program for drop off and pick up to schools in the neighborhood.

If you are interested in admitting your child to this program and would like further information, please feel free to arrange for a meeting or complete the attached application and consent forms and return it to the School. All information remains confidential. Under the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act, the personal information collected in the application form is solely used for gaining more information on the child when in the care of the Daycare.
