early-years

​â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹â¶Ä‹As a faith-filled Catholic community we recognize parents and families as the first educators of our children.

Children's first six years of development set the foundation for their success in school and future well-being. Children's development during these first six years affects their learning, behaviour, and physical and emotional health throughout adulthood.

We have the blessed privilege of journeying with our families and easing the transition from home to school in a number of ways.

Our support of the early years through programs and collaborative partnerships allows us to form a relationship with learners as they begin their journey of growth within the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations and towards their vocational calling.

The following links offer ways for families to give their children the best start possible.
