FofSCS Community E-Update |  DECEMBER 2016

Greetings friends, neighbours and supporters - thank you for your tireless efforts this past year advocating and fighting for Silver Creek School, the adjacent green space and in keeping Silver Creek Pre-school and The Etobicoke Children's Centre on-site and in our community.


Wishing you all the best in 2017 as we await a hopefully positive resolution!

 

Warm Wishes,

Friends of Silver Creek School

 

INFORMATION & UPDATES

On September 15, 2016, the province announced that it was exploring a "whole site solution that does not involve severing the green space" for Silver Creek School and includes keeping Silver Creek Pre-School and The Etobicoke Children's Centre programs on-site.

 

In follow-up, Yvan Baker, MPP for Etobicoke Centre has sent out a letter to update the community.

Until a CONFIRMED resolution has been put in place Friends of Silver Creek School and the community will need to continue in their advocacy efforts. #StandUpForCommunity

Silver Creek Pre-School is one of the vital programs that operates out of Silver Creek School providing a positive setting with therapeutic services delivered within a caring and creative early education classroom.

School Transition at Silver Creek Pre-School

 

Did you know that a large part of Silver Creek Pre-School's work and skill set is expertise in preparing children for ‘big school’ transition? Their goal is to support the family in understanding the school placement options and to coach and support them in the advocacy process.

 

Their play-based program provides a familiar stepping stone to the mandated play based program put forth by the Ministry of Education for all JK and SK programs in the province of Ontario.

 

With the understanding that a child’s best learning happens through play, Silver Creek Pre-School develops a program plan that support each individual’s skill level including cognition, physical and fine motor development, communication, self-regulation and emotional awareness and ADL’s. A variety of supports including mobility equipment, communication devices, environmental adaptions and a highly knowledgeable staff are in place to ensure that each child develops to his/her greatest potential. Early education leads to best outcome for integration and future learning; the Silver Creek Pre-School staff are proud to support their children’s most formative years.

 

Silver Creek Pre-School works with the TDSB, TCDSB, and Holland Bloorview’s IET program through their special education coordinators, and with parents, to determine the next best placement within their community for children with diverse strengths and needs.

 

Silver Creek Pre-School is a great start for children, whether they have physical or developmental challenges, or are typically developing. They have been serving children and families, at this location, for 41 years strong!

Friends of Silver Creek School have received information regarding the proposed Richview Square Plaza Development by Trinity Group:

 

The proposed development could be up to four towers of potentially 1000 “high end” rental units.

 

The City of Toronto is encouraging Trinity Group to purchase the Build Toronto property located directly south of the property and adjacent to the Shannex site; Trinity Group will be submitting a proposal based on this potential purchase in the first quarter of 2017.
