Each of our childcare centres has a Program Director and a Team Lead who work in conjunction to provide support to our families, educators, and children.  

Program Directors are focused on the administrative side of the program, providing support to families and staff.  They collaborate with other leadership team members, outside partners and agencies and the Ministry of Education to ensure a safe, fun, educational environment for the children in our care as well as a positive working environment for our educators.  

Team Leads provide hands on, daily leadership support to our staff and families and are the first line of support for addressing any needs and concerns.  They work with the staff on a daily basis to provide programming in line with the Tykes and Tots philosophy, the Early Learning Program guide and the Early Childhood Environment Rating Scale.

Our school-age programs have a Program Director and Program Supervisor who collaborate to provide quality care for children attending our before and after school programs and our school-age camp programs.  The Program Director manages the administrative side of the program and provides overall support and guidance to the supervisors and staff for each program.   The Program Supervisors provide daily interaction and guidance to parents and staff.

We provide community-based preschool programs to bring quality early learning to families who want to provide socialization and early learning experiences for their children but do not require full-day childcare.  Standard preschools are available at St. George and Pope John Paul II schools.  Our forest school preschools are available at Pope John Paul II school and our 270 Heritage Way location.
