The Unicorn Children’s Centre is a not-for profit childcare centre that has been in operation since 1986.  It is directed by a volunteer board of directors made up primarily of parents of children attending the center. The centre is overseen by an Executive Director.

 

The Unicorn supports children’s access to opportunities and experiences that promote their health, development and well-being.  The early childhood years are critical in laying the foundations for later learning and development; therefore we are committed to the highest quality of early childhood services in the form of full time and playschool programs.  We also understand the need for quality age appropriate based school age programs and have been providing activity based, choice driven programs.

 

Our aim is to provide services that are responsive to the changing needs of families and children attending the centers.  Programs are available both full-time and part-time for children between the ages of two and twelve years of age.

 

Programs are provided in a positive, warm, safe and caring environment where children’s rights are acknowledged, and the individuality of each child is encouraged.  Children are offered opportunities to explore, discover and create with laughter.

 

Our programmed activities are designed to foster and promote achievement of best developmental outcomes for each child in their own time.  They support each child’s physical growth and autonomy, and the development of thinking, social, communication and language skills.
