Little Lions Child and Family Centre

We provide child care for children 6 months to 12 years of age according to the waldorf philosophy or 'steiner' education. We are a red cross training partner and provide our staff with not only first aid training but also have regular updates that include child care specific examples. We also provide an annual workshop on choking to raise the awareness of parents. We participate actively with such organizations as roots of empathy and healthy kids community challenge. We have staff trained to offer fair start screening. We regularly use the services of children’s centre thunder bay and thunder bay health unit to better support any children with special needs. We take part in welcome to kindergarten nights as well as participating with parent councils in our municipalities. We take part in assemblies and school events working in partnership or taking a leadership role such as weed out hate day. We have built strong connections with other agencies that support families in need such as dilico and have worked to create a child care centre that has been invaluable in supporting young single mothers our most vulnerable population.
