Evergreen was originally established in 1991 as a preschool program. As we were forced to move, the hours were expanded and a school age program was added, but the program remained essentially the same - an unique combination of Montessori and Early Childhood Education is still in effect.
When we moved to our last location on Marine Drive, the centre expanded considerably, adding new spaces to pre-existing programs as well as starting our Infant/Toddler program. Now that we have moved to our new location on Centre Street, ten more spaces are being added.
Evergreen Child Care Centre believes it is vital to provide a nurturing environment for children, and a support system for families. The centre provides a loving and supportive atmosphere in a caring and enriching environment, where the team of staff meet the individual needs for the social, physical, intellectual, creative, cultural and emotional development of each child.
At Evergreen Child Care Centre the team of staff will facilitate the individual child's development by encouraging the children to establish a positive self concept and providing opportunities for active participation through play and positive interaction with peers, adults and the environment.
Monday through Friday 7 a.m. - 6p.m. We are open January through December with all the statutory holidays, including Boxing Day and Easter Monday, as our closures.
