CWELCC agreement


  

I am pleased to share that Ballantrae Child Care Centre has opted-in to the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC) agreement between the Province of Ontario and the Government of Canada.

The main focus of the CWELCC plan is to reduce child care fees for families with children under the age of six (as well as children who turn six years before June 30). As an initial step, families with eligible children at our child care will see a fee reduction of up to 25% (to a minimum of $12/day), retroactive to April 1, 2022.  

In January 2023, an additional fee reduction of 25% will be introduced, this means the fees you pay next year will be 50% lower than they are now. Additional reductions will continue in 2024 and 2025.

The agreement process with York Region has now been finalized and BCCC has received a lump sum of money which we will now begin to distribute back to you.

Program Statement

Ballantrae Child Care Centre uses a play-based approach to create the best environment for children to learn and grow. Our environment consists of age-appropriate materials, toys and equipment. We follow the lead of the children and provide activities that support their overall development using observations to guide our planning. We know that children learn best by pursuing their personal interests and goals, making their own choices about materials and activities during program time. As they pursue their choices and plans, children explore, solving problems by asking and answering questions while interacting with peers, program staff, students and other adults.   


Our Programs

 All full time E.C.E.’s are registered with the College of Early Childhood Educators. We offer a variety of care options and your child can trust that every teacher will lovingly care for all of his or her needs. We offer full time care to our before and after programs during Christmas Break, March Break, Summer Break and all P.A. days. All groups have the opportunity to play, explore and discover the wonders of nature during our outdoor play time which happens twice a day, for 1 hour in the morning and 1 hour in the afternoon. Our educators plan daily activities that include – creative, sensory, dramatic and cognitive play. Some activities involve one on one interaction while others enhance group relationships. We provide a balance of activities which are all developmentally appropriate.

TODDLERS/PRESCHOOL (18 months - 4 years)

Our program focuses on developing warm relationships with both playmates and caregivers thus fostering a sense of security and self-confidence. We also focus on letter recognition, numbers, colours, shapes, vocabulary and social skills. We will ensure that our toddlers and preschoolers will have an enjoyable, fun filled day of learning.

KINDERGARTEN (4 - 6 years)

Our before and after school program provides children with more opportunities to learn and grow and provides a seamless day with fewer transitions for children and families. Our program is a supportive extension to your child's full-day kindergarten program.

SCHOOL AGE (6 - 12 years)

Our before and after school program is designed to foster creativity and encourage the development of both intellectual and physical well being. We know that building self-esteem and experiencing success is important to children in this age group.
