About Us

Our Story

Williamson Road Childcare Centre (WRDCC) was established in January of 1987, after the parents of school aged children at Williamson Road Public School felt they needed licensed childcare for their children.  From the start, our centre has focused on meeting the needs of our families in our school community, and is why we only accept children that attend Williamson Road Public School. WRDCC is a non-profit organization governed by a Board of Directors.

Our Mission

Our mission is to promote health, safety, and nutrition for all the children in our centre; ensuring well-being. The focus of the staff is to support positive interactions. We want the staff to foster children’s exploration, play, and inquiry. We want the children in our centre to initiate their experiences and for the staff to be able to support those experiences. One goal is implementing the Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT) in our program; from kindergarten to school age. This is the theoretical framework for setting up appropriate programs for young children and a developmental continuum. It is broken in domains of Development; Social, Emotional, Communication (Language/Literacy), Cognitive, and Physical. Our focus is to meet every child’s needs and help them grow based on these domains.

We believe that children are competent, capable, curious, and have great potential. The goal of our Centre is to support positive and responsive interactions among the children, families, and staff. Partnerships between families and the Centre is essential for the optimal growth and development of young children. We welcome ongoing discussions with parents and caregivers about their child’s progress- social, emotional, cognitive- and their daily life at the Centre. The Centre’s staff are knowledgeable, empathetic, skilled, and caring educators who provide a curriculum based on ongoing observations of the children’s play and interactions which correlates into strong childcare. We plan for a creative, positive and nurturing environment in which children’s play is fostered through exploration and inquiry. This approach facilitates positive learning and skill development.
