Our St Thomas Aquinas Childcare Centre is attached to the secondary school of the same name. This location accommodates our very youngest children and we are very proud of the reputation our infant program enjoys in the community. Most of our little ones begin their journey with us as infants and don’t leave us until they enter school.

With a licensed capacity of 49 children of infant, toddler and pre-school age, this centre has a very warm and caring home away from home feel. Our early childhood educators provide the best in quality care and play-based learning opportunities and our indoor and outdoor environments are rich with natural, real and play materials that encourage curiosity, creativity and exploration.

Educators provide opportunities for healthy physical activity, long periods of uninterrupted play and exploration as well as time for healthy eating and rest and quiet time as needed. Our menu includes lots of fresh fish, poultry, fruits and vegetables and our meal times are relaxed and positive.

We provide inclusive environments that welcome families and invite them to participate as they feel comfortable. Ongoing communication between educators and families supports the well-being of the children and gives families a sense of belonging. Communication takes many forms in order to support the diverse needs of families. Storypark, a web-based interactive communication tool, gives educators and families the opportunity to share in the children’s learning & daily experiences and the Storypark app is used to provide timely information to families such as inclement weather closures.

This location provides lots of opportunities for the children and educators of Whitehills Childcare to collaborate with the students and staff of the school. The children enjoy playing in the school’s gym, running the track, taking walks and exploring the expansive grounds and Trick-or-Treating throughout the school. Tech students practice their skills with construction projects that enhance our classrooms and students in parenting classes have an opportunity to be mentored by our amazing educators.
