- interact with other children
- develop skills and language appropriate for their ages
Childminding Staff
Warm and caring staff strive to provide fun and educational activities to support children’s settlement in Canada. The best possible atmosphere for children’s development and learning is created by establishing relationships between staff and families built on mutual respect. While LINC adult parents are learning or improving their English language skills in school, their pre-school children are as well.
Everyone is learning English and growing in so many ways!
Important
Childminding Care for Newcomer Children is only available during class times.
