Board President’s and Executive Director’s Report

Welcome to Network Child Care Services’ 31st year in providing licensed, early years learning and child care services to families with young children in Toronto.

We are delighted to see everyone back in person after two and a half years of isolation. As much as our virtual tools allowed us to connect and support the continued delivery of our programs and services, nothing, in our view can replace the full return to in-person human interaction. Let us hope that we have seen the worst of COVID-19 and that when we refer to this period, it conjures memories of survival, compassion, collective support, and collaboration.

Network’s 2021 Annual Report demonstrates how members of our child care community pooled their efforts and went over and above their usual work activities to overcome the roadblocks caused by the Pandemic. We can say very confidently that many of our families were supported and sustained by the child care community’s compassionate work during this unprecedented time. We did it, and we did it together.

In 2021, Network advanced strongly into its third decade of growth and development. It weathered the “pandemic storm” courageously and adjusted swiftly and nimbly to challenging and ever-changing restrictions. Network’s stability as an organization and its integrity in all aspects of its operations enabled it to provide dedicated and exceptional licensed care to thousands of children and families throughout Toronto, with only minimal disruptions.

Turning to some of the specific challenges, Network tackled the seemingly relentless challenges of room closures and mandatory restrictions. Personal Protective Equipment quickly became readily available at all Child Care Centres and Home Child Care programs, in adherence with the requirement to always remain masked. COVID-19 screening became a regular part of Families, staff and affiliated Provider’s morning routines as every cough seemed to signal concern.

Against such challenges, Network was very grateful for the funding enhancements it received from the Federal Government, the Ontario Ministry of Education, and the City of Toronto Children’s Services. It would not have been possible to meet the various challenges without this financial support, and for that, we thank all three levels of government.

Network’s efforts to respond to the Pandemic’s daily challenges did not eclipse its commitment to recognizing and celebrating one of its core values: cultivating positive spaces where children and staff thrive and want to be. This undoubtedly requires continued work and the application of our core principles of diversity, equity, and inclusion. In this spirit, as summer turned to autumn, Network commemorated Truth and Reconciliation Day on September 30th, 2022. Network’s staff and Affiliated Home Child Care Providers promoted the message that Every Child Matters in all their activities. Although orange t-shirts were worn first and foremost to remember all those children whose lives were lost to the dreadful experience of the residential schools, they also served to remind everyone of Network’s ongoing commitment to providing exceptional care to young children and families throughout our programs. As we look forward to future activities in 2022 and beyond, we are grateful for the dedicated and tireless efforts of Network’s talented Educators, staff, and Affiliated Home Child Care Providers, without whom Network’s mission could not be realized.

As we continue to plan for Network’s future growth in the coming years of this new decade, we would like to express our deepest gratitude for the ongoing support of the Ministry of Education, the City of Toronto Children’s Services, and the Toronto Catholic District School Board. Certainly, without the necessary funding which Network received from the City of Toronto Children’s Services in particular, our capital projects, which began in 2020 and were completed in 2021, would not have been realized. These projects included the addition of Infant Care at four Child Care Centres as well as the renovation of our Main Office, and the Home Child Care Division.

We would also like to extend our most sincere thanks and appreciation to all Families who have trusted Network to care for their children, particularly during the latter half of this most difficult global pandemic. Their confidence in our programs, and Educators, has been both impactful and crucial to Network’s success.

Finally, a very warm and heartfelt thank you to Network’s Board of Directors and Advisors for their thoughtful insight and committed leadership, as well as all the individuals and community partners who have contributed to Network’s advancement over the past year!

We look forward to maintaining and enhancing our unwavering commitment to delivering safe Early Years and Child Care of the highest possible calibre and pedagogy throughout all our Programs.

 
 

2021 Highlights

Renovations completed at 5 Network locations!

Network began renovation work at our head office located at 756 Ossington Ave in Toronto in April 2020. Shortly after, architects began planning the new location for our Home Child Care office. From floor plans to strategic furniture choices, the vision for these new office spaces had finally become a reality in 2021. At the same time, 3 of our child care centres also began renovation work to update and rejuvenate the child care space. By the end of 2021, renovation projects at Group, Jubilee and Just Kids included the addition of infant rooms and other general upgrades to the physical space, thus expanding our offering to more families and providing more child care spaces. These projects have made Network offices and child care spaces a more modern and comfortable environment for all to enjoy!

 
 

2021 marked a significant year for Network, as we celebrated our Organization’s 30th year!

This is a tremendous accomplishment for any organization. Network marked this occasion in the safest way possible with COVID-19 considerations, by hosting a virtual Annual General Meeting with all staff, affiliated Home Child Care providers, and various partners. It was a celebratory evening filled with speeches, commemorative recognition, and a guest speaker. Notable guests Network had at this meeting included the General Manager of Toronto Children’s services, Shanley McNamee, as well as a message from the Prime Minister’s office, presented by Judy Sgro, Federal MP. Our key note speaker, Sarah McVanel, engaged us in a lively and self-reflective presentation on the topic “The Flip Side of Failing”. Additionally, we had a fruitful presentation celebrating staff accolades presented by our Human Resources Manager, Nadia Stirpe. We updated our logo to reflect this momentous occasion.

Network implemented Storypark across the Organization to improve communication and engagement

Storypark is an app that effectively streamlines secure two-way communication between families and their child’s educators. The application is free for all Network families to join. Storypark enables our staff to build learning and development profiles for each child, allowing them to share images, videos, and messages safely and securely, and enables instant communication between the families and educators. Families are able to have direct communication with their child(ren)’s educators whilst in the Programs and gives our Organization visibility and reportable statistics on how we communicate, and how much we communicate with the families we serve.

Orange Shirt Day

On September 30th, 2021, Network supported the National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, also known as Orange Shirt Day. The notion that Every Child Matters is integral to the inclusivity and diversity of Network’s ethos and the families we serve, but this is even more important considering the revelations surrounding the Residential School system across Canada. As part of the day, we provided all staff and affiliated Home Child Care Providers with an Orange Shirt. The children decorated their own paper orange shirts as an art activity, we shared information and educational resources with staff, affiliated Home Child Care Providers and Parents, and took lots of pictures to share with families on Storypark and our Social Media pages.

2021 Achievements

Training In 2021

2021 was a year of learnings & continuing education for us all. Network Child Care Services partnered with numerous organizations to bring its staff and affiliated Home Child Care Providers various topics of interest so that our workforce is knowledgeable in key elements within our sector, as well as diversity. The following is a brief outline of what the staff and affiliated Home Child Care Providers learned in 2021…

Covid Safety

Throughout 2021, Network continued to adhere to all health measures and guidelines from Toronto Public Health, Toronto Children’s Services, and the Ministry of Education. As the pandemic ventured through its peaks and valleys, Network continued to provide all staff and affiliated Home Child Care Providers with personal protective equipment (such as KN95 masks), cleaning supplies to ensure that all families, staff and affiliated Home Child Care Providers remain safe and continually offered various training opportunities which reviewed COVID-19 guidelines. Additionally, Network provided HEPA air purifier units in each playroom throughout our Centres.

Lastly, in addition to nightly professional cleaning, we further enhanced our cleaning measures to include weekly deep cleaning and disinfecting geared to reducing the viral spread of COVID-19.

Rapid Antigen Testing and Screening

As per the requirements from the Ministry of Education and Toronto Public Health, Network developed policies around vaccination requirements. This meant that any unvaccinated staff or affiliated Home Child Care Providers and their residents were required to submit Rapid Antigen Test results twice per week to their supervisors. The Rapid Antigen Tests were provided by the Ministry of Education and distributed by Network Child Care Services.

GoEvo application

As the pandemic continued to evolve, screening had become one of our everyday practices. Network believed that continued use of screening would be the surest way to protect the health and safety of the children, as well those around the centre and inside affiliated Home Child Care providers’ homes.

In an effort to make the screening process simpler and much less time consuming each day, Network proudly implemented an active self-screening digital assessment tool for everyone to complete and submit each day before entering the child care premises. GoEvo provided a clean and simple interface for all users to complete their self-screening.

By the end of 2021, Network’s staff, affiliated Home Child Care Providers, and the families attending child care would no longer screen on paper at the child care space, but rather complete digital screening for themselves and their child(ren) at their convenience in the morning on a cellphone or digital device. When parents would drop off their child, when a staff member goes to work, or before child care begins at the home child care space, screening results would be submitted for clearance. Our mission with this application was to make drop off a much quicker process and reduce wait times outside of the child care space.

2022 Initiatives

Network to re-imagine website, for a more clean, modern look. Making it easier for users to navigate:

We are excited to report that we plan to re-launch and revitalize Network’s website. This project will modernize the site’s graphics, navigation and above all making it more user-friendly for families. The site will undergo changes to appear more modern and visually pleasing, by greatly reducing the copy on each page and replacing the photos with ones that have a more colourful representation of Network’s programs and services. Additionally, we will also make changes to our mobile website experience, where users can see more information in the palm of their hand. We also endeavor to add two of the following features: a Gallery of Photographs (Child Care Centres and Home Child Care homes) and an interactive Virtual Tour of the Child Care Centres.

Fully Integrate digital COVID-19 screening across Organizations:

The digitization of COVID-19 daily screening will reduce paperwork, labour force and greatly improve efficiency when screening our children and staff. Network believes that within the foreseeable future, continued use of screening will be the surest way to protect the health and safety of the children, as well as those around the centre and home child care premises. Starting in 2022, Network’s staff, affiliated Home Child Care Providers, and the parents we serve will complete the screening for themselves and their child(ren) whenever is convenient in the morning on a cellphone or digital device. Our mission with this application will be to make drop off a much quicker process and reduce wait times outside of the child care space.

Plan the first in-person Symposium in 2 years:

Network is excited to announce that we have scheduled an in-person Symposium for our staff on November 19, 2022, and for our affiliated Home Child Care Providers on November 12, 2022. These Symposiums will take place at the Novotel Hotel, North York. In the morning on both days, we plan to provide updates regarding Network’s programs and services underlying the Organization’s vision for the upcoming year. In the afternoon, our staff and affiliated Home Child Care Providers will take part in interactive, team and skill building workshops. We hope these workshops will empower the participants with knowledge and skills to bring back to their various programs.

Network’s Blueprint:

At the request of our Board of Directors, Network intends to initiate a process which will provide us with a blueprint report of our Organization that will lead us to the next interval in Network’s strategic growth plan. Network’s entire Management Team will participate in this process, aptly called “The Blueprint”. The Blueprint will contain three elements in which the Management Team will build upon. These three elements are the Organization’s purpose, its business architecture, and its purpose story. Once these are established, the next step in 2022 will be to implement The Blueprint throughout Network, with the guidance of an external business consultant.

Extensive & Inclusive online training opportunities:

Network firmly believes in the value of continuing education and learning throughout the year. The skills we learn and apply into our professional and personal lives benefit those around us, and those who we interact with on a daily basis. The objective is to elevate professional expertise and inclusive knowledge of all participants in achieving a greater level of early years and child care delivery. Some of these opportunities will include:

  • Celebrating Black History Month within Early Learning and Child Care Programs presented by the Early Childhood Community Development Centre.
  • Indigenous Gifts, presented by the Indigenous Perspectives Society

IT and Cyber Security Assessment:

Network will be partnering with BDO Canada to begin discussions on making Network Child Care Services a more “Modern Workplace” from a technology perspective. This project will include interviews with staff, training and the introduction of various computer tools to improve workplace efficiency.
