Whitmore Park Childcare

The flowers are here! The flowers are here!!!

Thank you to everyone who supported us through our Growing Smiles Fundraising flower fundraiser. We are so grateful for the orders that were placed and can't wait for you to come and see how beautiful these flowers are in person!

If you missed out and still want to join the fun, we have 1 extra Patio Planter ($43) and 2 extra Hanging Baskets ($42) that can be purchased. First come, first served for the extras.

At WPCCC, we love finding meaningful ways to connect, celebrate, and have a little fun!

In honour of ECE Appreciation Day, we invited our staff and families to take part in a special "Guess the Baby Photo" game - and it was so fun!! From laughter-filled guesses to heartwarming moments, it was such a joy to match baby photos to our amazing team members.

This activity was also a beautiful reminder that our wonderful educators were once little learners themselves, just like the children they nurture and inspire every day.

Take a look at our "Then and Now" photos of these incredible individuals who make WPCCC so special.

If you feel so inspired, we'd love for you to leave a note of appreciation for these remarkable "big kids", who do so much for our community.

May is Early Childhood Education Month!

As we celebrate Early Childhood Education Month — and ECE Appreciation Day on May 13th — we want to express our sincere gratitude for the dedicated educators who spend their days caring for and educating our youngest learners.

We are fortunate to have a team that consistently strives to provide high‑quality care, thoughtful and intentional learning opportunities, and a warm, welcoming environment for every child.

ECE is a profession that demands patience, resilience, passion, and a healthy dose of humour. Thank you for bringing these qualities to your work each day and for the meaningful impact you make in the lives of children and families.

🌷 Flower Fundraiser Alert!

There are 16 days left to order your Growing Smiles plants — which sounds like plenty of time… until you remember how fast 16 days disappear when you’re raising children, running on caffeine, and trying to remember where you left your keys.

Do Future You a favour: order now, feel great later.
Your porch and flower beds will look amazing.

❄️🌷 WHITMORE PARK CHILD CARE CO‑OPERATIVE PRESENTS…
THE “SPRING....EVENTUALLY" FLOWER FUNDRAISER! 🌷❄️

At WPCCC, we believe in nurturing children, community… and apparently, flowers that are braver than the weather.

So even though the playground currently looks like a scene from a polar documentary, we’re teaming up with Growing Smiles Fundraising to bring a burst of spring to our families.

Because if anyone can manifest sunshine through sheer enthusiasm, it’s our kiddos.

Why order through our Growing Smiles fundraiser?
- Your purchase supports hands‑on learning, outdoor play, and new materials for our programs
- Growing Smiles plants are hardy, beautiful, and guaranteed to outshine the snowbanks
- Flowers make perfect gifts for Mother’s Day, grandparents, neighbours, and anyone who’s tired of winter boots
- You help our little learners grow, explore, and bloom—just like the plants you bring home

How it works:
Order now, and by the time your plants arrive, we’re pretty confident the snow will have melted.
You can order through the website at whitmoreparkchildcare.growingsmilesfundraising.com/home
