Best Preschool Ottawa Near Me

4worldlovers:

It is with a heavy heart that I share the news that our beloved preschool will be closing permanently at the end of July when our lease at 174 First Avenue expires.

Despite the best efforts of many parent volunteers, staff, and community supporters to move the school to a new location, we have made the difficult decision to close. In the context of high rental rates and a shortage of Registered Early Childhood Educators, as well as changing demographics and demand for part-time preschool programs, the Board of Directors, in collaboration with the Director, determined that this was the most appropriate course of action.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank our team of educators: Lauren, Jenn, and Karen have helped our children thrive and grow every day during a year full of uncertainty and change. A special thank you goes to Karen, who has been instrumental in creating such a special environment for children in our neighbourhood for over two decades. Karen has been working tirelessly behind the scenes to administer the new childcare subsidy while simultaneously working as an educator and working on the relocation plans. It is truly impossible to quantify the positive impact that Karen and Good Morning have had on so many children and families during her tenure with the school. Lastly, I would like to thank my fellow board members and parent volunteers, in particular Megan, Todd, Caroline, and Tarah, for sharing a love and appreciation for Good Morning Creative Arts & Preschool.

This is a huge loss for our community that will no doubt be felt by the countless parents and children who have been a part of the Good Morning family over the last 42 years. It has been a privilege to serve on the board of an institution that has been an important part of the fabric of our neighbourhood. In the immortal words of Winnie the Pooh: “How lucky I am to have something that makes saying goodbye so hard.”

4worldlovers: We acknowledge that our school, located in Ottawa, is on the un-ceded, un-surrendered ancestral territory of the Anishinaabe Algonquin Nation whose presence here reaches back to time immemorial.

We recognize the Algonquins as the customary keepers and defenders of the Ottawa River Watershed and its tributaries.
