About Us

Who We Are

Junior Scholars Preschool is the premiere preparatory school of Port Credit, Clarkson Village and Lorne Park. Our program is licensed by the Ministry of Education and regulated by the Child Care Quality Assurance and Licencing Early Years and Child Care Division to offer and provide a curriculum for children eighteen months to six years of age. Our curriculum includes mathematics, science and discovery, early computer and technology literacy, music and theatre, all aspects of language, reading, writing and oral development, arts and crafts, social studies and communication, French, physical education, and health, wellness and nutrition practices.

Our Excellence Oath

The health and well being of the children in our care is the principal concern of our experienced team of caregivers, teachers, Supervisors and Directors. Junior Scholars Preschool has developed a first-rate initiative to maintain observance to this value. Directors and Supervisors make unannounced, day-to-day, ongoing evaluations of each classroom in order to measure compliance with a wide scope of Health and Safety Policies and Procedures, as well as Curriculum and Program performance. While all provinces have licensing agencies that manage licensing requirements, Junior Scholars Preschool is further compelled to satisfy the standard for excellence in the childcare business …excellence that inspires forward-moving action and motivation.

What We Value

At Junior Scholars Preschool, our priority is for each child’s happiness and success. Our philosophy is simple. It is to lay the strongest foundation of confidence and academic success for each and every child. It is our constant and never-ending aim to provide each child with the opportunities, through academics and play, to make responsible decisions encouraging autonomy, self-esteem, focus, motivation and future accomplishment.

At Junior Scholars Preschool, we recognize that each child is unique and develop at different rates. To meet each child’s socio-emotional, physical and educational needs, the school has been divided into four classrooms. Each classroom has been divided into yet even smaller groups allowing for more one-on-one teacher/child interaction.

At Junior Scholars Preschool, we strive to create a supportive family atmosphere in which the program is a co-operative extension of both the home and community at large. Certainly, we believe that in order to meet the needs of each child, and to provide them with the best opportunity for success and achievement, a collaborative effort between home and community is encouraged. At Junior Scholars Preschool our objective is for each child to leave happy, confident and academically prepared to meet new challenges, and for each parent to be certain in knowing that they made the right choice for their child.
