Alderwood Action After School Inc. is a not for profit child care centre run by a volunteer Board of Directors. Each year the Board of Directors is re-elected by the parents of the daycare centre at our Annual General Meeting.
AAASI was formed in May 1984 when five concerned parents got together to discuss after school care for their school aged children. Registration for 25 children was completed in June for September 1984. There were three staff members operating in two classrooms within Sir Adam Beck School. In September of 1999 the new Alderwood Community Centre opened which included a new daycare centre consisting of four exclusive use classrooms. The centre was built with capital funding from the City of Toronto and from AAASI’s own resources. Today we operate four classrooms within the Alderwood Centre and two classes within Sir Adam Beck.
Our Registered Early Childhood Educators strive to provide a program that meets the needs of the children’s social, emotional, physical and intellectual needs through a variety of interesting and age appropriate activities. AAASI provides an inclusive child care program so children who require extra support can fully participate.
Through the City of Toronto’s initiative “Every Child Belongs” and the centre philosophy, children’s needs can be met with third-party consultation. Observation and identification of needs will be completed should both parents and centre staff deem it necessary. A team is created which may include some or all of the following: Parent, Child Care Staff, Supervisor/Assistant Supervisor, Consultant, Therapists, Psychologists, Psychiatrists, Child’s Physician or a Social Worker.
