a bit about us
MELCD was established in 1987 and has since been an active and integral part of the community through partnerships with agencies that support families. We provide an inclusive, multicultural environment with services available to children with all abilities.
we invite you...
MELCD encourages parent/guardian participation, and we invite you to spend time with your child in our Centres. The success of our child care programs depends greatly on the parent/guardian’s cooperation and support. Parents can be involved in different capacities:
- Board Positions
- Special Skills
- Recyclables
- Field Trips
- Fundraising Assistance

Board of Directors
MELCD is governed by a Board of Directors that consist of parent/guardian representatives from each site, as well as community members. To ensure the views expressed for each Centre are met, we have equal representation from all locations in attendance. All members meet once a month to discuss topics that relate to the organization.

MELCD conducts an AGM in the Spring of each calendar year. This is an open meeting to all parents/guardians where we will discuss the business of the organization.
