About Us

At Station Road we believe that keeping young minds active and engaged will give them an advantage as they grow. Early teaching in a fun and supportive environment gives children the building blocks for learning they need as they enter school and continue to learn throughout their life.

Station Road is a registered non-profit corporation and is fully licensed by the Ministry of Community and Social Services. Originally founded by parent volunteers in 1971, our nursery school has been a vital part of the community and children's lives for more than 35 years.

THE CO-OPERATIVE EXPERIENCE

Station Road is a co-operative nursery school with a unique partnership between parents, pre-school children, their teachers and the community. Parent involvement can be as rewarding for the parents as it is for the children. As parent helpers in the classroom, parents assist teachers with the day’s activities several times a month. In addition to this, other co-operative responsibilities include: assuming a task such as preparing crafts or snack shopping and attending the Annual General Meeting. Enthusiastic parent involvement is one of the school’s most valuable resources.

NON-PARTICIPATING

Station Road realizes that not every family can contribute in the same way. At the beginning of each school year a number of non-participating spaces will be available. Tuition fees for these children are higher, reflecting the value of the work done by other parents in the co-operative.

ALLERGY FREE ENVIRONMENT

Due to the potential for nut and egg allergies and the severity of these reactions we enforce a nut and egg free environment. They are not allowed in snacks or lunches, and are not used in arts and crafts projects. This policy benefits the health and safety of the children in our program.
