Non-profit

Rockcliffe Child Care Centre is a non-profit child care centre that offers children a unique experience in a well supervised, stimulating and secure environment.

Mission Statement

Our mission is to provide professional child care programs in a safe, nurturing environment. We work with families to encourage each child to achieve his or her full potential in social, emotional, cognitive and physical development.

Three Programs

Preschool, kindergarten and school age programs. Full day programs with family-style lunches and competitive fees for preschool and kindergarten children. After school, professional development days and school break care for school age children. Extensive summer program.

Each of our three programs ensure positive childhood development. The preschool program is designed for children aged two to four years. The kindergarten program is for four and five year old children. The school age program is designed for school aged children between the ages of six and twelve. Within the school age program is a "Kids Club" for children in grades 5 and 6. The Kids Club addresses the older child's needs by providing special programming to enhance life skills, independence and self-confidence.

Positive Learning and Personal Growth

We encourage positive learning that allows for personal growth and provides an opportunity for peer interaction.
The Centre provides the basic needs of home - good nutrition, creative play, rest and individual attention.
