About Whitehills
Whitehills Childcare Association operates high-quality child care programs for children Infant-12 years in North-West London and surrounding Middlesex County and provides the lead for Family Centre Fox Hollow.
Our programs are licensed by the Ministry of Education and we embrace the Ministry’s document “How Does Learning Happen” as our framework to guide the important work we do in our programs on a daily basis. We focus on the four foundations for learning: Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement and Expression.
We provide inclusive environments that welcome families and encourage their participation. We support ongoing communication between educators and families and positive and responsive interactions among the children, parents and staff. We believe that when we all work together, we support the well-being of children and families.
Educators engage with the children in their play and learning. Our indoor and outdoor environments invite children to safely learn through play and exploration and a wealth of natural, real and play materials are provided to encourage creativity, curiosity and connection with the children’s natural world. Healthy eating and physical activity are an essential part of every day. Visits from community members and excursions to local environments give children opportunities to engage with the people and places around them. We work closely with other services and participate in initiatives aimed at improving the lives of children, families and educators.
As lead of Family Centre Fox Hollow, Whitehills Childcare Association works together with other service providers to provide coordinated service for families including Parenting & Early Learning, Early Childhood Education, Public Health and Wellness,Recreation,Sports and Leisure, Youth Services and Referral, Resources, Information and Awareness. Family Centre Fox Hollow is designed to make life easier for all families and residents by offering a single door to many opportunities in your neighbourhood and city. Everyone is welcome.
“We have a little girl with special needs and we know that the staff and other students at Whitehills have helped prepare her for full integration to school next year. They are forever a part of our family. Thank you.”
“Working at Whitehills Childcare Association has been an incredible experience for me. It has helped me become more confident in myself personally and as an Early Childhood Educator. I have been able to radically change my program’s environment, making a difference in the children’s well-being and their ability to explore their imaginations and creativity.”
