Covid Policy Update

At LEF, we have moved forward cautiously with reopening during the pandemic. The safety and well-being of our community members remains our top priority.

LEF will be no longer be screening staff, families, and individuals at any of our locations. We ask anyone coming into an LEF location to do a self-assessment and stay at home if they have symptoms.

As of July 4^th, masks are no longer required to be worn outside on LEF property. KN95 and N95 remain the preferred masks at LEF as they protect you and others. 3-Ply Surgical masks can be worn for relief, but they are only effective at protecting others

What kind of snacks/lunches do you provide?

Our menu is approved by a dietitian and is reviewed and updated annually. When visiting a centre, the supervisor will share the menu with you. Also, there is always extra fruit, bread or cheese available for children should an extra snack be requested.

Can my child bring their own food?

Due to children with food allergies and/or dietary restrictions, we ask families to not bring food from home to the centres. Special accommodations may be considered, please follow up directly with your centre supervisor.

What qualifications do Educators have?

Our educators are second-to-none in the sector! Every room has at least one educator who is a registered Early Childhood Educator (RECE). Other educators in a room may have accreditation as an Early Childhood Assistant (ECA), a Child & Youth Worker (CYW) or experience as a provider of recreation programming. All have current First Aid and CPR certifications. Centre supervisors are all RECEs, many with supporting academic accreditation including teaching certificates or early education degrees and all have a minimum of two years experience in the child care sector.
