Circle of Friends Day Care (Day Care)


Circle of Friends is located in Frontenac Public School and provides both full and part-time care. They will accommodate half-day children to the best of their ability. Circle of Friends is somewhat unique in that preschool children of all ages are integrated allowing, for example, two siblings to be in the same class. It is run by a community and family board of directors. Parents are asked to sign a membership agreement and are expected to attend an annual general meeting; all other involvement is voluntary. The centre’s philosophy is that children learn through play.
