WELCOME TO PARKWAY DAY CARE CENTRE
ABOUT US
Parkway Day Care Centre is a non-profit organization that is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. The Board of Directors meets monthly to discuss the issues that impact our families and children. We are guided by our four core values which are: The Well Being of Children, Positivity, Working as a Team, and Respect for All.
OUR STORY
Parkway Day Care Centre has been serving the community
for over 35 years.
​
Parkway adheres to a holistic approach of Early Childhood Education. When we expose children to rich environments and individualized learning experiences, we allow them to explore their autonomy and bravely gain a sense of the world around them. Once they leave our Child Care Centre, they’re fully prepared to master the next stage of their young lives.

PROGRAM STATEMENT
At Parkway Day Care Centre our first and foremost objective is to provide quality care for children, complementing the care provided by families.
