Strategic Plan 2025-2026
Larch Street Kid’s vision is to be the first choice for families, children, and Registered Early Childhood Educators by creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and valued. We strive to build a foundation for lifelong learning, creativity, and a sense of belonging within a community that celebrates diversity.
LSK recognizes that our staff are the heart of the organization and we are committed to creating a supportive and rewarding work environment. This includes enhancing staff appreciation programs, offering professional development opportunities, and ensuring a better work-life balance. Leadership development is a key focus, empowering employees with mentorship and training to grow within the organization.
A strong connection with the community is essential for LSK’s success. The organization is committed to strengthening intergenerational programs that bring children and older generations together, fostering relationships that benefit all involved. LSK will also enhance communication with families and stakeholders through more effective outreach and engagement strategies. Additionally, developing a sustainable fundraising plan will ensure that LSK can continue to provide high-quality services while expanding its offerings to better meet the needs of the community.
Technology plays a crucial role in enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of early childhood education services. LSK plans to invest in cloud-based administrative solutions to streamline operations, improve data security, and enhance accessibility for staff and families. Modernizing parent communication tools will allow for better interaction and engagement, ensuring families remain informed and involved. By adopting new technologies, LSK will create a more responsive and adaptable organization, equipped to meet the evolving needs of children, families, and staff.
Larch Street Kids is a well-established Childcare Centre located in the City of Greater Sudbury, opening its doors in September 1991. Larch Street Kids (LSK) consists of five childcare sites and one administration site.
