A PLAYGROUND IN NEED
The current Kinder Bear 3-5-year-old playground space is in need of significant repair. The wood playground structure is extremely weathered and will need to be replaced and relocated. There are drainage issues, uneven spots and areas covered with grass that are difficult to maintain and causing mobility hazards for some children. Once completed, there will be artificial turf, blended with resilient surfaces that will offer fewer hazards to children with walkers and / or wheel chairs.
INVESTING IN THE WELLBEING OF CHILDREN AND THEIR FAMILIES
Securing project funding through donations from our community, local businesses, service clubs, grants and organizations helps support the OSNS in making critical improvements to our existing 3-5 playground and therapy space and will help ensure its timely development.
What We Do at OSNS
We provide education and early intervention treatment to children facing developmental challenges. We assist in guiding and supporting the families of these children.
Our Team
Our team is made up of dedicated and talented individuals who strive to deliver the best quality of care. We are governed by a volunteer board of directors.
Support Us
The growth of our Centre is made possible by generous donations from our community. There are many ways you can support us: financially, in-kind donations, event sponsorship or volunteering.
