About Us
Harrow Co-op Children’s Centre Inc was incorporated in 1984. The centre began operating as a School Age Program in one room inside of Harrow School. Throughout the years, the centre continued to expand to include kindergarten, nursery and preschool children. A second facility opened it’s doors in 2017. Presently, we are fully licensed for 150 children ages 3 months to 12 years.
Harrow Co-op Children’s Centre Inc. provides a loving environment for the development of each child’s cognitive, emotional, physical and social skills. We provide an environment where children can work independently. The rooms have beauty, order, reality, simplicity and accessibility. The children have the freedom to work and move around the room which allows them to act as part of a social group.
Our staff are exceptional! Each staff member brings with them a special interest in children and helps assist each child develop their unique potential, both as a person and as a member of our community. The diversity of our staff’s background gives the children a wider cultural awareness.
All childcare staff are classified by the Manitoba Early Learning and Childcare Program. Each staff must go through a criminal record and child abuse registry check and maintain current First Aid and CPR training. To build on the great skills they already have, all staff at HCCC are required to participate in at least 24 hours of professional development yearly.
OUR PHILOSOPHY:
We are committed to providing a safe, warm and friendly environment with a program that provides a balance of sensory stimulation, rest and quiet activities for each child in our care.
We support families and develop relationships based on trust and respect. We believe that each child deserves an environment and experiences that promote growth in all areas of their development; therefore, we provide access to all equipment and activities to make learning experiences positive for all children.
Our policies have been developed in the best interest of all children participating in group care. It is crucial that parents share a similar child care philosophy with the Centre.
