Malvern Child Care

In 1993, the Board of Directors was approached by the Ministry of Community and Social Services concerning the opening of a new Kindergarten and School-Age program beside Jockvale Elementary School. After much thought, the Board went ahead with the project in late 1994. An Advisory Committee was formed, which included members of the Board of Directors and community members who each brought an area of expertise to the committee. The Advisory Committee worked together to bring us to our opening in August of 1995.

The centre operates every Monday through Friday between 7:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. providing a program for children aged 3 years, 6 months to 10 years, 8 months. A fully qualified staff of early childhood educators helps to ensure quality care and programming for the children.

All the programs are similar to programs at Kennevale site based on children’s interest and knowledge. The centre provides a learning environment that serves to stimulate and develop children’s creative thinking, inquiry and problem solving skills.

The centre support, encourage and facilitate a co-operative working relationship with parents in order to meet the needs of the children entrusted to our care.
