JICS Licensed Nursery

Information for Parents

Years ago our school began as a Nursery. The Nursery program still belongs within the community and administration of our whole school. In addition to these supports and standards, the Nursery is also licensed under the Child Care and Early Years Act. All programs for young children are now regulated by the Ontario Government to ensure quality of care, developmentally appropriate programs and safety for all children. As required by the act we have a number of written policies outlining how we ensure the standards of care recognized by the province. Policies regarding program implementation, anaphylaxis, supervision of student teachers and volunteers, administration of medication and other aspects of our work related to sanitary practices and safety can now be found here on our website.
