The Fort Frances Day Care Centre is a licensed integrated centre providing a warm and loving atmosphere to help all children grow together. The Day Care provides four spaces for special needs children.
Children learn through play experiences. The children are encouraged to choose their own activities and to use them to their fullest benefit with the guidance of the Day Care staff.
We provide indoor and outdoor unstructured time where equipment lends itself to the child's learning process.
The staff provides planned experiences in art, storytime, circle time, dramatic play, music, science, baking activities, special events and field trips.
The day is spent playing and learning respect, responsibility, sharing, coping in and out of one's peer group, developing creativity and most important a good feeling about ones self.
Each day a nutritional noon meal and morning and afternoon snacks are served to the children.
