Outcomes

Care for Newcomer Children (CNC) is a childminding service available FREE to eligible LINC students while they attend class.

Childminding Care for Newcomer Children is only available during class times.

While LINC students attend class, Infants (6 months – 19 months) and toddlers / pre-school (age 20 months to 4 years) children will:

  • Learn through play
  • 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!
