Childrens Centre Programs

How We Operate
Welcome to the Children’s Centre, a non-profit preschool.
The school is run by a not-for-profit organization and directed by a Parent Board. We direct all monies into sustaining a wonderful environment for our young children. Parents are encouraged to participate in all aspects of our school's operations -- from selection of staff and programming ideas to fundraising and administration.


Where and How We Play
The Children's Centre is located at St. Mary's Church in St. John's Newfoundland. Our space is filled with books, paint, sand, water, blocks, costumes, toys ... you name it. Each week themes and set-ups -- such as space station, restaurant, animal hospital and others -- spark children's imaginations and learning. Outside in our enclosed backyard, there's a whole other world with a sandbox, construction site, bubbles and various other seasonal activities and toys.

The Teachers
All our staff are experienced and dedicated Early Childhood Educators who bring to the programs their knowledge and enjoyment of children. Their enthusiasm and warmth can be felt by children and parents alike.
Their role is primarily as resource people, observers and guides. Also they provide developmentally appropriate activities and materials and encouragement so necessary in ensuring each child's progress in all areas of development.
We are proud of our low teacher turnover rate at the Centre and the stable environment that this provides for our children.
