Mary Kardash Child Care Inc.

Mary Kardash Child Care Inc. is a community orientated program

which provides a respectful, safe and nurturing child centred learning environment where children and their families can reach their potential and contribute as responsive, capable citizens of this community.

The years of a child's life are times of natural curiosity, boundless energy, and unlimited questions. Providing a rich and varied environment where children can enjoy learning through play and social interaction with their peers is very important.

With this in mind, we provide the children at our centre with a variety of activities, with varying degrees of structure. Through these activities and regular individual attention, we work towards developing a healthy self-image in each of the children.

Continual and open communication between parents and staff will help us to understand the kind of care you wish your child to have. Keeping the centre informed of your child's home situation would also assist us in understanding and providing for his/her individual needs.
