Kids Connection Care and Education offers Child Care programs for children 18 months to 12 years in Richmond Hill, Markham and Vaughan at our 8 locations. We are a non denominational, community based, non-profit organization, serving children 18 months to Grade 6 and licensed under the Day Nurseries Act of Ontario. We incorporated in April 1991 and operate with a volunteer Board of Directors elected from parents and community members.
We see each child as a unique individual with preferences, interests and important family connections. We strive to know each child through careful observation and assessment, cultivating strong relationships with families and studying child development theory. At every stage of development children have a profound desire to connect with others and learn about the world around them. We consider all of these important elements as we form relationships with children and their families, and plan our environment and program.
We believe that parents are the experts when it comes to knowing their children. Throughout our program we support and validate all families and ensure they are represented and included in the daily life of the program and the care and education of their children.
We see the time that children spend in our programs as filled with rich possibilities for development and learning. We regularly plan experiences where children can explore and interact with materials and people to discover things about themselves, others and the world around them.
