Contact Information

Romy Charles, Program Director

We operate out of the main assembly room on the south side of the building. Come say hi!

 

We believe that a caring program is based on clear, positive and ongoing communication between home and centre, individual attention and nurturing by the centre staff, explanation and use of positive, consistent and appropriate methods of guidance.

How Kindercare operates

L’Ecole Bilingue Kindercare Society was founded in 1990. It operates separately from L’Ecole BIlingue. Another non-profit org, Les Grands Enfants, provides grade 4-7 care for L’Ecole Bilingue students and operates separately from Kindercare, with its own policies and waitlist procedures.

Our hours are typically from 7:30-9:00 and 3:00-5:45. We are open on professional development days and for one week during spring break.

Kindercare employs a full time executive director that oversees the childcare staff. It has a board comprised of parents of current students that volunteer their time by providing strategic, fundraising and operational support.
