We’re sharing an important update about our planned Russell Street expansion. Due to rising costs and unforeseen renovation requirements, the project has been permanently paused. While disappointing, our commitment to strong, sustainable childcare in our community remains unchanged.

Thank you for your continued support. Please see the attached letter for details.

Spent some time outside with our Madoc Preschoolers. We found some natural items on the ground to make collages with. We discussed with the children the importance of using items that were already on the ground instead of picking leaves and flowers that we still growing 🌼 🌳 Check out some of their amazing work!
