It could even be a highly respected director who just finished his 100th infomercial. Your next meal can be a true artisan experience Pizza is the world’s greatest food and now you can enjoy the best slice in Burlington. Made with fresh, all natural ingredients, Artisan Pizza is raising the bar by crafting a slice that’s second to none. Get wings, panzerotti, salads and more!

Hidden Helper’s social goal is to fund behavioral treatment and therapy (via funding developmental paediatricians, occupational therapists, and speech pathologists) for children with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Hidden Helper sells primarily hand-made soft toys, products made purely out of cloth that aim to improve different skills, including sensory (tactile, auditory, visual-spatial, vestibular, proprioception), logical (arithmetic, patterning and sequences, reasoning, observing and STEM learning), interpersonal (emotion recognition, communication, problem solving), and linguistic (reading comprehension, phonics, writing) awareness. However, the skills are all geared towards a common theme: to make children develop unique thinking skills using imagination and critical thinking and learn to connect a variety of ideas and themes in order to innovate in the future. This year (2016-2017), Hidden Helper is partnering with Palawan’s Project Unbounded to find and fund a developmental paediatrician to travel to the city of Puerto Princesa, Philippines to evaluate a group of around 50 children with intellectual disorders, ranging from low-functioning autism-spectrum disorder to global developmental delay. Hidden Helper seeks to fund more global therapy missions and promote social change in the special needs industry.

Marian Montessori School

Marian Montessori School Marian Montessori is a private Montessori School directed by Marie A. Silva. A beautiful home based environment, which facilitates a rich intellectual, artistic, spiritual and social atmosphere radiating love, care and concern while producing intellectual, strong, courageous and caring little people. The prepared home environment, our theatre and outdoor back to nature environment act as the first educator. The warm and inviting family atmosphere set in this carefully prepared home environment with security and surveillance facilitates an easy 'Home to School' transition thereby maintaining a one hundred percent comfort zone. Exploration and enjoyment is fostered through introducing a love for the arts of Music, Dance, Mime, Dramatic Art, French, Painting, Sculpture and Science in our fully prepared studio. "Beauty is the voice that calls the child to engage with materials and elevates him to a higher level of grace and courtesy as he interacts in the environment" (Haskins 2012, p.34). Connect to Nature Our nature playground offers opportunities for outdoor science, art, gardening, creative play and physical exercise throughout the year! Creative, imaginative and joy filled activities continue throughout the year in our serene, tranquil, close to nature environment. Gardening projects include herb, vegetable and flower cultivation. Our exotic nature yard is the delight of our children and educators! Outdoor snacks and lunch are also provided in the warm weather, cooler autumn weather, as well as the renewed spring weather. Our Method Our method is based on the natural development of a child's knowledge during which there are known sensitive periods. It is easier for a child to learn a particular skill during the corresponding sensitive periods then at any other time in his/her life, therefore the specially prepared environment also allows a child the freedom to select individual activities which correspond to his/her periods of interest. Through a careful combination of work and play in our prepared and inviting environment, in the early stages, a child will develop concentration, coordination and work habits necessary for more advanced exercises to be performed at later stages. A child's educator acts as a guide, a helper and a constant observer. It is the educator's responsibility to constantly test and observe a child's work, attention span and progress with the goal of bringing a child to realize their capabilities and unending potential. Therefore, it is the educator's responsibility to utilize the prepared environment to specifically support a child towards independence. Governed by the needs and responses of a child, a broad range of materials will be made available. Each tool provided to a child has a built-in control of error feature, thereby reinforcing the educator's goal of helping a child to self-assist. The educator is also required to create bespoke materials for a child's specific needs. In this way, there is a constant process of upgrading the environment with knowledge from the educator's observations and accumulated class documentation regarding a child. * Every Wednesday pick up time is 'fellowship time' (mix & mingle) with child led activities and complimentary refreshments and coffee served * Numbers capped at 12-15 for new academic year * Plus many more family 'togetherness' features A fellowship day once a week, when parents visit to pick up their child at the end of the day. which includes: child guided activities, mix & mingle with parents and teachers. Complimentary coffee and snacks served.

International Nannies & Homecare Ltd.

International Nannies & Homecare Ltd. Flexible and affordable childcare alternatives for busy families across Canada  International Nannies & Homecare Ltd. is one of Canada’s leading nanny and Au Pair agencies and was founded by Manuela Gruber Hersch, a former overseas nanny from Austria. Together with her team, she has been placing In-Home Caregivers for more than 19 years and was the first agency to introduce the Au Pair program to Canada almost 4 years ago. International Nannies & Homecare Ltd. is committed to providing the highest level of applicant screening, with a focus on providing excellent service to both applicants and families. Manuela is a multiple nanny employer herself and brings a wealth of knowledge from both perspectives. Her team of experienced and highly-motivated Placement Coordinators, who are located across Canada, have lived and/ or travelled abroad for an extended period of time themselves and are looking forward to sharing their expertise with you. Nannies vs Au Pairs An Au Pair's main responsibility is childcare and child-related household duties. In contrast, an In-Home Caregiver will often assume full responsibility of the household during the parents' absence, which may include light housekeeping and meal preparation for the entire family. In-Home Caregivers generally have years of full-time childcare experience and are prepared to work for at least two years. The In-Home Caregiver Program is well suited to those who require full-time, long-term childcare and housekeeping and are looking for an individual with a degree in nursing, midwifery or early childhood education, in addition to years of professional work experience as nanny. In comparison, hiring an Au Pair is the best solution for families who require only part-time help. In addition, unlike a regular employer-employee relationship, an Au Pair is viewed as part of the family, or a big sister. Au Pairs come to Canada to get to know the Canadian way of life under a Working Holiday Visa and desire an opportunity to explore the world. Au Pairs are young adults (between 18 to 25 years), often new to the nanny scene and usually have part-time babysitting experience. Most Au Pairs are willing to commit for one year, although there are some who may only wish to work for 9 months, therefore spending the remainder of their time traveling. Regardless of your choice, of most importance is selecting the caregiver that will provide the best solution for your family's needs. Whether an Au Pair or nanny, both provide parents with the opportunity to spend more quality time with their family and the flexibility to balance all that life throws at them. Our goal is to make this process as smooth as possible for everyone and to provide our families with an excellent candidate who is able to enrich their family’s experience. Customer service prior to the caregiver’s arrival, as well as post-placement follow up and support, is an essential part of our service. Contact us today to speak to a representative and to find out which childcare solution works best for you. Colleen Hardie Senior Placement Consultant International Nannies & Homecare Ltd.
