Enriched Preschool Program-Ontario

What is it?

A full-day program geared for children aged 4 to 5 years who would typically have enrolled into kindergarten outside of the Covid-19 pandemic. Offered during regular operating hours of the centre, with a mid-morning and afternoon snack and hot lunch.
