Sharing our Community Spaces
Manor Park Playschool is now licensed! As a licensed child care provider, we can now offer your child playschool classes on mornings from Monday to Friday.
The Manor Park Playschool is a kindergarten readiness program with a strong focus on nature. The majority of our program takes place in our play yard lovingly known by many as the “fire engine park”.
We have worked hard to complete the steps necessary for a child care license. Part of the process included playground inspections to ensure that the play area is safe for children ages 18 months to five years.
In addition to the many repairs made to ensure safety in the play yard, we have added materials to enhance children’s imaginative play such as tree stumps, a mud kitchen, a play house, and a music wall made out of pots and pans. We are excited to share these enhancements with the community and hope that you have as much fun with them as our play-schoolers do.
Our enhancements are materials that have been donated by you, our caring and thoughtful community members. We are asking everyone to please treat these materials with respect and not to remove them from the play yard. Parental supervision and reminding children to play gently with the yard materials, will extend how long they last–and how many children can enjoy the fun.
Although our play yard is considered a community play yard, please note that the playground is on Ottawa Carleton District School Board (OCDSB) property, and just as the school playground is unavailable between 8:30 a.m. and 6 p.m. to the public, the fire engine park is also unavailable during this time due to COVID-19 protocols and safety concerns. Please feel free to enjoy this space after 6 p.m. or on the weekends.
If you have a child between the ages of 2 ½ and five years and are interested in joining the fun at Manor Park Playschool, please email us at playschool@manorpark.ca for more information. Children do not have to be potty trained to attend our program.
