Childcare Education @ CIES

An initiative here at CIES that offers a tremendous opportunity to those with children at home but who still wish to study is our Childcare program.  To help students stay focused on their studies, and thus expediting their integration process into Canadian society, our free of charge childcare services are available to help nurture their children while they’re in class. By creating a welcoming environment, this program helps children between the ages of 19 months and 6 years build necessary social skills, establish new relationships, and, when necessary, cope with the effects of dislocation and trauma.

Our certified childcare specialists plan regular activities that are appropriate for the ages and abilities of participating children. In order to foster respect and understanding within a multicultural context, we encourage children’s creativity while taking into account their variations in physical, mental, and emotional development. Our team is dedicated to helping children to make a positive transition to Canadian society.

Halloween is a uniquely North American holiday and thus it was cultural day in some regards at CIES. Today the childcare team took our little ones for some in-house trick or treating, escorting them through CIES headquarters in the SE, from office to office. Candy was given to everyone and a great time was had by all. For pics of the day's fun CLICK HERE  and Happy Halloween from all of us here at CIES!
