La Crete Head Start
The La Crete Head Start program is open since 1994 and is located on 10102-96 Ave in La Crete. The program operates from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm and has two classes, a morning class and an afternoon class.
At 8:30 am the bus starts its round through the community to pick up the children. One staff member always travels on the bus, Fort Vermilion School Division provides the bussing. We do have our "own" bus driver. The bus comes back to the program at 9:15. From 9:15 – 11:30 the children are in the program, where they do circle time, craft, play and snack (or other activities, depending on the season). At 11:30 the bus is ready to bring the children home. The afternoon class is from 12:00 – 2:30, and has a similar schedule to that of the morning class.
Snack is provided in both the morning class and the afternoon class. All snacks provided are in accordance with the Canadian Food Guide. Sometimes parents are asked to bring snack to the program, these snacks too need to be in accordance with the Canadian Food Guide.
There are two staff members on site: A Program Coordinator, who is in charge of the program and also teaches in the program. Then the Program Assistant, who teaches in the program and assists the coordinator with all activities. Both Program Coordinator and Program Assistant are full-time employees.
The program follows the calendar of the Fort Vermilion School Division. When the School Division is closed, so is the program. On top of that, the program is closed on Mennonite holidays.
