The
Oakville Learning & Childcare Centre
This beautiful centre
provides children with an incredible opportunity to learn, grow and develop in a
nurturing environment. Recently purchased by Edleun
(Education Learning Universe), this centre has witnessed
visible improvements to the facility, menu and curriculum in the past 12 months.
Still serving children as young as 6 weeks in a full day setting to children as
old as 12 years in a before and after school program, the Oakville
Learning & Childcare Centre strives to set itself apart from
anything considered ordinary.
Known for their fully
bi-lingual programming, the Oakville Learning & Childcare
Centre offers French in every classroom with a fully fluent French
speaking teacher. This program is perfect for children planning on attending a
French Immersion elementary school. Along with the French speaking instructor,
you'll find a fully trained, experienced and nurturing E.C.E. (Early Childhood
Educator). For children not planning to attend French Immersion, the benefits of
exposure to another language are plentiful and long lasting. Developmental
programs are in place for infants and toddlers, where milestones are tracked and
recorded to ensure every child unlocks their true potential. In the pre-school
and kindergarten rooms, you'll find the Frog Street Curriculum educating their
children on the values of respect, community and friendship - all while learning
mathematics, language and socialization skills. Every morning begins with a
community circle, a welcome message and a positive commitment for the day.
Games, activities, songs and experiments fill up the daily schedule to allow
their children to fully learn and develop through a play based environment.
Knowing how extremely
important proper nutrition is to both the physical and mental well-being of
growing children, Edleun has partnered with a Registered
Dietician and Nutritionist. Andrea Holwegner of Health Stand Nutrition
Consulting Inc. certifies their menu, ingredients in their menu and provides
proper substitutions in case of personal beliefs or allergies. Their meals are
made in-house, fresh daily and from scratch. Their full meal program is included
at every age group (an example of a meal plan would be their Fish Sticks. Whole
fish are cut into fillets, breaded using eggs, milk and bread crumbs, and then
baked in the oven until done. This is served alongside rice, steamed broccoli,
cauliflower, fresh fruit and a glass of milk).
This Centre is located at
20 Shepherd Road (just off of Speers Rd and Kerr St), a quick 3
minute drive to the Oakville Go-Train Station. They offer convenient operating
hours for commuting parents and are open from 6:45am to 6:00pm. Knowing how
important fun and safe before and out of school care is, they also offer care to
children enrolled at Patricia Picknell, Pinegrove, Oakwood and St.Marie.
In order to experience the
full breadth of benefits this Centre can provide your family, the
Oakville Learning & Childcare Centre warmly invites and
encourages all interested parents to call and schedule a visit. You might be
amazed at what you'll find.
