Patricia Couroux, the only employee of the school, has run it for the past eight years and is excited about the move, but concedes that there is a bittersweet feeling to it all. "This is an amazing space - we've been here just over 10 years and we have a great relationship with the Kinsmen," said Couroux. "I'll miss coming down the stairs and seeing the children when they come in with smiles on their faces. And our tree in the classroom is one of its greatest features."

New to the nursery this year are programs that will help alleviate some of the stress put on parents who are tied up with work. "We have before and after school care and we have hired a teacher for the afternoon, so parents can effectively use our lunch program that starts at 11:30 - their children stay here for lunch and then stay for our JK/SK program in the afternoon," said Couroux. "Then we have care after school so it makes it a lot easier for parents who are working to use this as child care and instruction time." The nursery school, aiming to provide flexibility to parents, is providing topnotch services, with a teacher who has been recognized for her work.
