Pre-School Transportation Program - 1 Week / 1 Child
A key element of our commitment to serve all children equitably is our pre-school transportation program, which we offer at a subsidized minimum cost to families. Every day 3 school buses, with properly tethered carseats, cover the areas from Lakeshore to Steeles Ave; west to the Mississauga border and East to Keele St., to bring over 60% of the children to Silver Creek and then home again. Without this service, children whose parents cannot drive, don’t own cars, or whose disabilities are so severe that public transit is simply too challenging, would not be able to attend Silver Creek.
This year the cost will be $125,000 to ensure these children can get to Silver Creek to receive the early learning/play environment where therapeutic services are integrated into their day.
Your gift of $90 pays for one week of transportation for a child. Your gift of $630 pays for a week of transportation for all of the children on the bus.

Testimonial
My son David (who is now 17 and attending Michael Power H.S.), was at Silver Creek from 1995 – 98. We were thrilled to find a nursery school where he could get his much-needed physiotherapy right in the classroom. This team approach between the teachers and the therapists was innovative and exciting. David flourished at Silver Creek and so did I. The staff became my friends and a great emotional support to me. They helped with equipment suggestions, sources of extra funding, and co-ordinating David’s school placement at Sunnyview P.S.. Well, David moved on but I stayed. I have been on the Board of Directors since 1998, and President for the past 5 years. Silver Creek is a magical place !
