The Burford Co-op Preschool relocated in March 2009 in order to expand its’ services to include full-time Child Care spaces. The Preschool was formerly located at 120 King Street, in Burford, and is now located at 11 Mill Street, Mount Vernon, just outside of Brantford. The Centre is now able to accommodate 6 infants, 15 toddlers, 32 preschoolers, and 25 School-age children.

The Burford Co-op Preschool has been in business since 1974. It is a non-profit, charitable organization. It operated as a co-operative Nursery School with one qualified Early Childhood Educator and two “Duty Parents” running the Preschool on a daily basis, until 2007. In September 2007, a new format was adopted, which eliminated "Parent Duty Days" and two qualified Early Childhood Educators ran the programs each day. This change was due to parental demand. On October 1st, 2007, a Before & After School program for JK/SK children was offered, and December 2007, the program expanded to include 15 Before and After School aged spaces for children up to 11 years of age. more...
