ABOUT
At Petit Pearson Childcare Centre (PPCC) and Ethennonnhawahstihnen’ Childcare Centre (ENWN), we are dedicated to providing high-quality, inclusive, and nurturing early learning and childcare in a safe and engaging environment. Our goal is to support each child’s development, curiosity, and overall well-being while building strong partnerships with families and the wider community.
Our programs promote play-based learning, exploration, and meaningful relationships that support children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Guided by Ontario’s How Does Learning Happen? framework, our qualified and caring educators create enriching learning environments that reflect each child’s interests, strengths, and individual needs. Across both centres, we are committed to professionalism, continuous improvement, and maintaining the highest standards of care and education.
Together with families, schools, and community partners, PPCC and ENWN strive to create welcoming spaces where children can grow with confidence, curiosity, and a lifelong love of learning.
Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care (CWELCC)

Through CWELCC, our centres are committed to improving affordability, accessibility, quality, and inclusion in early learning and childcare. Participation in this system allows us to offer reduced parent fees while continuing to invest in high-quality programming, qualified educators, and safe, enriching learning environments.
As CWELCC-enrolled centres, PPCC and ENWN operate in accordance with provincial and municipal requirements, including funding guidelines, accountability measures, and quality standards. Our participation supports workforce stability, ongoing professional development, and sustainable operations, ensuring that families receive consistent, high-quality care.
We remain committed to transparency, compliance, and continuous improvement as part of the CWELCC system, working closely with families, funding partners, and governing bodies to support the best possible outcomes for children.
Nap Time
The educators take reasonable steps to ensure the children’s need for sleep and rest are met, and in line with their age and developmental stage. The following are some of the guidelines for providing sleep and rest times at the Centre:
- Educators will ensure the children’s cots and sheets are clean and in good condition.
- Each child sleeps in his or her own labeled cot.
- Sleeping children will be supervised by the educator at all times.
- Educators will sit near resting children and support them by encouraging them to relax.
- Educators will encourage the children to rest their bodies for at least 20 minutes. If the child is awake, the child will be provided with quiet learning experiences for the duration of rest time.
- Educators will be sensitive to each child’s needs so that sleep and rest times are a positive experience.
- Sleeping children will be visually checked, every 15 minutes, by an assigned educator.
