2015-2016 PED Brochure

 5870 Rue de Terrebonne Ave, Montreal QC, H4A 1B5 PED Day Program 2015 - 2016
Dear Parents,
Welcome to the fifth year of the Willingdon EDP PED day program!
It’s our pleasure to offer you the best from years past along with some new and exciting activities.
Rest assured that we will continue to book multiple workshops on each day and hire extra
specialists to insure our offerings are both age and interest appropriate.
Each on-site PED Day includes fantastic workshops led by professional animators and a variety
of fun & games. Your children will be actively engaged in physical activities and will exercise their
imaginations while participating in the art projects, games and activities programmed by our stellar
staff.
Our selection of adventurous off-site programming offers children the chance to experience
something out of the ordinary in the company of their friends. These off-site courses are offered
at a slightly higher price because they include the cost of transportation and admission.
PED Days are open to all Willingdon students. Please join us for any or all of our exciting
adventures. We look forward to seeing you!
Tanya Savickey
Director
Willingdon EDP
