Clara Balinsky (Montreal) Daycare
The Clara Balinsky (Montreal) Daycare, opened in 1980, is one of six that CHW supports. Currently, the daycare provides daily care to over 77 children, in three classrooms. The children come from a variety of backgrounds.
The daycare offers a dedicated and well-trained staff of twenty who provide guidance and care to the children in a nurturing and enriching environment. The daycare is situated within the The Shamir Medical Centre (Assaf Harofeh), where most of the children’s parents are employed. The daycare remains open longer hours to accommodate for the long work day of many of the parents at the hospital.
- WIZ Kids program
- Nutritious meals and snacks
The Clara Balinsky (Montreal) Daycare also offers a nutrition program, which teaches both parents and their children about healthy eating. Further, every Friday, parents can attend weekly lectures on parenting and tips for the home. These sessions provide an opportunity for the parents to ask questions, as well as meet with the other parents.
