The Oneida Child Care Centre is a licensed day care centre providing quality child care services to the Oneida community. We accept children between the ages of 3 months to 5 years of age according to license capacity. This is inclusive of children that turn 6 years of age during the academic year.
Our Philosophy
The Oneida Child Care Centre will provide experiences for the development of language, motor, self-help, social and cognitive skills. Activities in the areas of Art, Science, Nutrition, Culture, Oneida Language, Math, Music, Physical Exercise and Dramatic Play will foster the growth and independence of each child. The curriculum will be inclusive of the Oneida culture and traditions.
Daily Programming
Our daily programming consists of activities which encourage self-help, cognitive, creativity, physical, social and language skills. We encourage the use of Oneida language and culture daily through our programming and routines.
We provide support for parents by sharing our resources, knowledge, information workshops, child seat clinics and direction for outside services.
