A Passion For Children And Experience With Their Care
Welcome and thank you for taking an interest in the Islington Village Child Care Centre.
I am thrilled to be a part of this special and unique community.
I am an RECE Honours graduate from Humber College, a program I enjoyed thoroughly.
From 1998-2011, I was co owner and operator of Maple Preschool. Through thirteen years of experience in executing and maintaining my own centre I was able to build a wealth of practical knowledge which I bring to the Islington Village Child Care Centre.
Family owned and operated, our centre has been designed to meet the needs of your family.
A proud mom of 3 daughters, I truly understand the importance and challenges of maintaining a “happy home”. Knowing your children are in good hands is priceless. We strive to create an environment where parents feel a sense of comfort when they bring their children to our centre and continue on with their daily agenda.
I believe balance is an integral part of a child’s early development. At Islington Village Child Care Centre it is our goal to create a safe environment where children are nurtured and have fun. Play based learning and jolly phonics are integrated into the program to ensure educational stimulation, preparing children for the next phase of their learning development.
Our objective is for children to build up self esteem and inner confidence. These basic, yet essential tools are imperative for a child’s future.
I thank you again for your interest. I am certain that your requests and requirements will be met and maintained at Islington Village Child Care Centre.
Kind Regards,
Julia Meffe, RECE
“Welcome everyone, thank you for choosing our centre! Prior to becoming the Supervisor at Islington Village I had spent time 3 amazing years working with different age groups. I’ve learned and gathered experience by building confidence, creativity, and knowledge of, what we as educators can do to teach your child(ren) to build their own confidence, creativity and knowledge. The child(ren) are not the only ones on the path to learning, so are the educators. The moment I began my training within this centre I knew this was the place where I would be able to further enhance my abilities as an educator. I’ve kept updated on new ways to engage play and facilitate programs through multiple workshops. I had the pleasure to have watched infants take their first steps, and say their first words. Within the Preschool room, I’ve helped alongside parents, with the potty training milestone.
After completing the Child and Youth Work program at George Brown College, I worked in many great centres, but Islington Village is family orientated; which makes being part of such a great group of staff, outstanding. The children that I have been able to teach within this centre has left a great mark on my heart, along with the great families within this community.”
