Accessibility

Whitehills Childcare Association is and has always been committed to the philosophy of inclusion as follows. “Inclusion is the process by which an environment adapts to the individual needs of its members.” All children in a classroom are expected to be placed in an age-appropriate grouping and challenged to reach their full potential. Whitehills provides inclusive programs that welcome all children. 

We recognize that children are unique and deserving of a learning environment that promotes their individuality. We view children as competent and capable, curious and rich in potential, allowing us to focus on the strengths of every child rather than their needs and deficits.

Whitehills Childcare Association (WCA) is also committed to providing our goods and services in a way that respects the independence, dignity, integration, and equality of opportunity for people with disabilities. We will do so by removing and preventing barriers to accessibility and meeting our accessibility requirements under the Accessibility for Ontarians with Disabilities Act, 2005 (“AODA”) and Ontario’s accessibility laws.

On January 1, 2017, to meet the requirements of Ontario’s Accessible Employment Law, Whitehills committed to an Employment Standard that formalizes workplace accessibility procedures for four Human Resource areas: hiring, workplace information, communication, and performance management, in support of people with disabilities.
