Who We Are

Andrew Fleck Child Care Services has been providing child care to the families of Lowertown since 1911. Our child care centre provides licensed child care for 94 children between the ages of 18 months and 6 years of age in two buildings located at 195 & 185 George St. in the Byward Market.

What We Do

The main building at 195 George Street houses the Preschool program for children 18 months to 4 years of age and our kindergarten program for children 4 and 5 years of age, who attend half-day kindergarten at one of the nearby school including: Rockcliffe Park Public School, Lady Evelyn Alternative School and Viscount Alexander. At 185 George Street, our brand new "Cottage" building, we provide care to our Toddler children 18 months - 21/2 years of age and a group of 16 preschoolers.

Each program offers a child-focused curriculum where staff and children work together to expand and develop a wide range of skills and competence based on the emergent curriculum philosophy. An emergent curriculum is one that builds upon the interests of the children. It is often spontaneous and responsive to their immediate interests; topics are driven by the ideas and questions from the children themselves.

Our Team

The teaching staff in our child care programs all have Early Childhood Education qualifications or a recognized equivalency. First Aid and CPR training are also required. Our staff are dedicated, professional and eager to welcome your child into our fun learning environment.

Administrative and housekeeping staff, plus our creative cook, provide much needed support to the programs and help to ensure a comfortable and warm environment for everyone.
