We Are Fully-Trained and Qualified
Our Early Learning & Child Care Centre Staff
PLASP educators in our child care centres are RECEs (Registered Early Childhood Educators) and have provided PLASP with a clear criminal reference check. In addition, relief staff are hired and provided by PLASP who have received training specific to the PLASP programs and policies. Relief staff cover regular staff who are absent from their programs due to illness, family obligations etc. This works very much like a substitute teacher at school. As much as possible, PLASP endeavours to assign relief staff to locations that are familiar to them.
Our Before and After School Program Staff
In our Kindergarten and School Age program, PLASP hires educators who are RECEs (Registered Early Childhood Educators) as well as candidates with Ontario College of Teachers (OCT), Child and Youth Worker (CYW) and Child and Youth Care Practitioner (CYC) designations. All educators are required to possess a valid First Aid Certificate and provide PLASP with a clear criminal reference check. Training received by educators includes Positive Caregiving for Children and Setting the Stage for Successful Behaviour for School Age Children, and many more.
We Are Ministry Compliant
All educators hired to work in our programs and centres meet the Ministry requirement under the Child Care and Early Years Act and also participate in additional training courses through PLASP.
We Are Specially Trained for Each Age Group
Our educators are trained to work specifically with their assigned age group. They take the time to listen and interact with the children, providing a balanced program that supports and encourages children to grow and develop to their full potential.
