The
Long Vacation program and other year round club activities are central to the
Children’s Centre concept. The guiding philosophy sees education as a
broad and multi-faceted concept, involving much more than schooling or cognitive
learning. Education should relate to all aspects of life and lead to realization
of one’s full potential. From the beginning the library was seen as part
of a comprehensive facility fostering the full and well-rounded development
of children and youth. Long vacation activities not only give pleasure, but
also expand children’s horizons and enrich their experience. The vacation
period, rather than representing time to be occupied, offers a unique opportunity
for growth, the gaining of skills, and exploration of areas not adequately covered
in school. Through a variety of carefully planned activities, vacation can fulfill
its promise as a period offering children unique opportunities for growth and
development.
Below is a portrait of the many activities offered by the Children’s Centre.
