Our caregivers and educators are sensitive, supportive, and interested observers, using their observations as an ongoing process so that children can be given the opportunity to succeed at their own level of development.
The teaching staff are selected and placed in classrooms based on their experiences, education, and ability to identify the individual strengths of each child. They work to enhance these skills and develop new abilities. The teachers function as guides and facilitators nurturing your child’s developmental needs.
The majority of Pladec staff are Early Childhood Educators holding a positive standing with the College of Early Childhood Educators, and each classroom is staffed with a minimum of one Registered Early Childhood Educator. All staff members are also required to be trained in up-to-date First Aid and CPR, trained in anaphylactic procedures including Epi-Pen administration, and obtain a clear Criminal Reference Check.
Our on-site cook is trained in the Safe Food Handling course offered by the KFL&A Public Health Unit. Pladec’s cooks take pride in their planned menus which meet the requirements of both the Canadian Food Guide and the Child Care and Early Years Act 2014 (CCEYA).
