What to Expect

Each morning includes opportunities for children to play, explore and spend time with others.

During warmer weather, mornings begin with outdoor play. Families then move indoors for activities such as crafts and sensory play. The morning wraps up with stories and music.

The Launch Pad is led by Debbie Censner, a Registered Early Childhood Educator. Debbie has more than 15 years of experience working with children and families.
