MESSAGE FROM
THE CHAIR
The past year at College Montrose Children’s
Place has been one of continued preparation
for the move to our new home at the Artscape
Young Place. Despite unexpected delays to
construction of the base building, we look
forward to opening our new space by late
fall of 2013. Our renovation committee has
been working to ensure that our move to the
long awaited “Home of our Own” is ready.
Meanwhile, in order to make the retrofitting
of our space possible, our staff, board and other
volunteers have been actively involved in raising
funds to reconfigure and equip our new home
so that it will be a warm, inviting environment
for our children, their families and caregivers.
We are grateful to the Ontario Trillium
Foundation for their Community Capital Fund
Program and to RBC Capital Markets for
their very generous and timely donation.
Our staff, volunteers and board members organized several successful fundraising events in the
past year including a wine tasting, a family fun fair,
participation in the Toronto Waterfront Marathon,
and another delectable dinner at Chiado
Restaurant. With additional support from local
businesses, program participants and community
supporters, we achieved the capital campaign
goal of $500,000. Under the guidance of our
board treasurer Karen Craine, our bingo sessions
continue to be an important source of income for
us. Our strategic priority to not only build a capital
fund but also to strengthen our organizational
fundraising capacity is well and truly underway.
diverse community members to our board
and ensure they are appropriately oriented and
trained and our development committee will
focus on ensuring we have the resources necessary to fulfill our mission. Meanwhile, the executive will continue to ensure sound management
with a particular focus on the organization’s
finances and human resources.
The board of directors wishes to express its
ongoing gratitude for the scope of the commitment of our management and staff. In all
aspects of our program, management and staff
demonstrate their willingness to do whatever it
takes to keep College-Montrose Children’s Place
a safe and healthy community, open to all families. As a board, we appreciate the newly instituted
front-line staff presentations that connect us more
closely to the many Children’s Place programs.
I also thank our enthusiastic and committed
board members, a diverse and dynamic group
committed to the CMCP mandate. 2012 marks
my last term as chair of the board and
I look forward to continuing my work
on the board as past chair.

Despite our many accomplishments, our needs
continue. Moving forward into 2013 and 2014
we will face rising building occupancy and
program costs as a result of the move to our
new neighbourhood. In preparation for these
coming challenges, the board has strengthened its
structure and policies. It reviewed its’ committees
and their terms of reference and also performed
a comprehensive policy review. The result is a
reduced number of committees with focused
agendas. In 2013, the program committee will
lead the development of a new Strategic Plan,
the governance committee will work to recruit

NOTE: ACCOUNTING STANDARDS FOR NOT-FOR-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS (ASNFPO) FIRST TIME ADOPTION
These financial statements are the first financial statements for which the entity has applied Canadian Accounting Standards
for not-for-profit organizations (ASNFPO), and were prepared in accordance with CICA Handbook – Accounting, Part III,
Section1501, First-time adoption.
The organization issued financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2011 using generally accepted accounting
principles prescribed by CICA Handbook – Part V – Accounting XFI. The adoption of ASNFPO had no impact on the
previously reported assets, liabilities and net assets of the organization, and accordingly, no adjustments have been recorded in
the comparative statements of financial position, operations, net assets and cash flows. Certain of the organizations disclosures
included in these financial statements reflect the new disclosure requirements.
Since the previous year’s financial statements were audited under Part V of the CICA handbook and not Part III, for comparative
purposes we are showing them as unaudited.

Report from THE Executive
and Program Directors
As the famous abolitionist Frederick Douglass said:
“It is easier to build strong children than to repair
broken men (women)”. For thirty years, Children’s
Place has endeavoured to build stronger children
by providing safe stimulating learning environments and opportunities for children pre-natal
to six years of age, their parents and caregivers.
2012 was no different. We delivered 23 different
programs, over 7121 hours of service, to 3,687
children and 3,809 parents/caregivers, who made
56,435 visits. We referred 880 families to other
vital community services and 160 volunteers contributed 7,121 hours to assist CMCP to achieve
its mission. We continued to strengthen our community partnerships, expand our service options
and offer a range of high-quality, free, accessible
services to diverse children and their caregivers.
CMCP offers spaces, places and programs so
that parents/caregivers can leave the isolation
of their home; create a community of families;
support each other to care for their children;
acquire information about child development
and resources in the community; and strengthen
their parenting skills and confidence.
While we consider ongoing evaluation an integral
part of all our activities, this year, as per our
policy and practice, we carried out a thorough
biennial program evaluation to determine the
extent to which we are reaching these goals.
This involved over 246 participants completing
a survey regarding their experiences of the
programs, the impact on their families as well
some demographic questions. Volunteers and
staff, on the other hand, reported on their
experience of our organizational practices.

in Mandarin at Alexandra Park Community Centre
as well as new and ongoing partnerships with
Public Health such as: piloting a new Nobody’s
Perfect Group for Caregivers, Living and Learning
with Baby, Dental and Oral Health Workshops,
Nobody’s Perfect Groups for Parents, Peer
Nutrition and others too numerous to mention.
One of the most challenging goals of our existing
strategic plan for staff was to work towards a
new home for CMCP while ensuring that the
needs of the community we are leaving continue
to be addressed. This task will persist well into
2013. So far, we have gathered information from
participant focus groups, our database, census
data, Early Development Instrument data and City
of Toronto neighbourhood profiles. Based on the
data gathered so far, we opened a new Ontario
Early Years Centre satellite site in partnership
with St. Raymond Catholic School. This site is
located just north of our present location and
will serve participants who are unable to travel to
our new location. Staff will plan specific programs
according to identified needs and resources.
The latest UNICEF report on the well-being of
children in rich countries ranks Canada 17th out
of 29. As we reflect on our 2012 activities as an
organization with a vision of “Healthy Children,
Healthy Families, Healthy Communities”, we
have to ask ourselves “What part do we play
in improving this situation?” In 2013 we will
continue to address this question through our
early learning and family support programs and,
just as importantly, by working with our families,
partners, and colleagues to advocate with policy
makers for the well-being of Canada’s children.
The results on the whole, strongly endorse our
programs and practices. They indicated we accomplished our goals and practiced the family support
principles we promote. Staff members will hold a
retreat in 2013 where they will analyse the data
in detail and develop a team work-plan based on
the results. Additional details about this evaluation
are included in this report on pages 10 and 11.
Finally, we would like to acknowledge the
hard work and dedication of our volunteers.
Board members, committee members and
program volunteers inspire and motivate staff
towards service excellence on a daily basis.

SIGNIFICANT
INFORMATION
ABOUT CMCP
CMCP was founded in 1983 by a group of diverse
immigrant women who recognized they needed and
wanted to learn more about parenting in Canada.
CMCP is the lead organization for the TrinitySpadina Ontario Early Years Centre but it also
operates sites in Parkdale-High Park and Davenport.
In Trinity-Spadina, CMCP directly operates three
sites and has service agreements with six agencies

CMCP has been a United Way
Member Agency since 2003.
CMCP relies on volunteers to
accomplish its mission.
CMCP staff and volunteers speak more
than ten different languages.
PROGRAMS
CMCP’s focal program is the
family drop-in services – these
are spaces and places for adults
to interact with their children and
other adults, to gain parenting
skills, learn about resources, and
share skills and knowledge with
others. In 2012, we continued to
provide a menu of flexible services
and support that varied depending
on local needs identified by
participants and through our
community outreach. The
core services included:
WORKSHOPS focused on parenting
and early learning issues.
Parent/caregiver support
groups in Portuguese, Mandarin,
and English and for families with
additional support needs.
Childcare and general
information and referral (on the
phone or at program sites).

daily song and rhyme circles, registered
family literacy and family math programs.
Readiness for school programs
during the summer months.
training and supports

CMCP Program Evaluation:
How are we doing?
Ongoing evaluation is integral to all
CMCP programs. Participants are
regularly polled for feedback and
program planning suggestions. In
registered programs, participants
set goals collaboratively at the
first session and then complete a
questionnaire at the final session.
This questionnaire measures the
degree to which the agreed upon
goals were accomplished and
also identifies potential
improvements.
CMCP is also committed to a
biennial organization wide program
evaluation (www.frp-evaluation.ca).
During a specified 3 week period
participants, staff and volunteers
complete a survey. In 2012, 246
participants responded to the
questionnaire.
The participant survey:
- Asks demographic questions.
- Scores their agreement with statements based
on 3 types of core indicators related to our
mission and goals, quality valued practice,
outcome/benefit, and organizational practice.
- Provides opportunities for participants
to make comments and suggestions.
Respondent Demographics
- A staggering 37% of respondents have a family
income of less than $35,999 as opposed to
20% of residents of Toronto,
- 30% speak a language other than English
at home and 17% are recent immigrants,
- 50% are parents and 50% are care
providers, and
- 84% of their children are under 4 years of age.
Responses on Core Indicators
At least 80% or more strongly agreed with
our outcome benefit indicators including:
- parent self efficacy,
- increased social networks and reduced
social isolation,
- increased problem solving skills, and
- increased awareness of community resources.
85%-90% strongly agreed with quality practice
indicators including:
- welcoming warm environments,
- accessible services,
- skilled staff,
- diversity of participants, and
- participant sense of ownership of the program.
Two new sections were added to
the survey in 2012. One of these
measured settlement supports
and the second measured special
needs support.
Settlement
At least 70% or greater of respondents strongly
agreed with 2 out of 4 settlement support
indicators including, the cultural sensitivity of
programs and the making of wider connections to the community. On the other hand,
69% strongly agreed that they have a better
understanding of Canadian culture and 65%
of respondents strongly agreed that they had
increased opportunities to practice English.
Special needs
Respondent Suggestions
Participants also gave suggestions for improvement. They included: more space, more staff,
extended hours, more diverse and varied
planned activities, more varied and nutritious
snacks, more active play and outdoor activities,
and more quality toys and equipment.
Next Steps
Going forward we will seek out new and
additional strategies for improvement especially
in any indicator area receiving less than a 75%
strong approval rating. Management and staff will
incorporate responses to these results in their
work plans. They will also reflect, and where
possible act on suggestions made by participants.
A PowerPoint presentation of the results can
be found on our website: www.cmcp.ca
At least 80% or more of respondents strongly
agreed to all the special needs support indicators
including: the ability of children with special needs
to participate in activities, staff skill in working
with children with special needs, provision
of safe comfortable spaces for children with
special needs and making program accommodations for children with special needs.
Staff and volunteer respondents indicated
a high degree of agreement that CMCP
policies and practices complied with commonly
identified best practices in the sector.
Over 90% strongly agreed that:
- CMCP polices reflect Family Support
Principles and guide them in their work,
- they are engaged in meaningful work, and
- CMCP has appropriate partners.
At least 75% or more strongly agreed that:
- professional development was supported and encouraged,
- policies took into consideration staff needs, and
- partner agencies supported CMCP and
were satisfied with their partnership.
10
Finally 67% of staff/volunteers strongly agreed that
they were given decision making opportunities.

PARTICIPANTS’
LETTERS
In 2010, we discovered we were to be made homeless by the sale of the school we had inhabited for
almost ten years. Consequently, we appealed to our participants to help raise the funds needed to
relocate. This letter is an example of how one of our participants responded.
“
November 30, 2010
Dear “Toronto Early Years Centre”,
I arrived in Toronto 6 months ago with my husband, my 3 month old baby and 7
huge bags! I had no relatives and no friends here... I knew it would be hard… first
baby, by ourselves, my husband working full time, new country, new language, new
life… But I could not imagine it would be that hard!
Since I arrived, the Ontario Early Years Centre (CMCP Trinity-Spadina) has been
my second house. Here I found people who make me feel comfortable… I found a
place to talk and to help me with my first mom’s questions… I found other mothers
in the same situation as me, mothers of twins, mothers without partners, Canadian
mothers, calm mothers, “daddy mothers”… I found a place to play with my baby…
to sing with my baby… to learn with my baby… to learn from other babies…
Most of all, I found a place that makes me feel part of Toronto… closer to
home… closer to family.
I could not imagine it would be so hard, but I can imagine it would have been
much harder without you.
I made a small contribution to the Ontario Early Years Centre. I wish I could
give you more…but I hope it will help a little bit.
I will start working soon and I will not be able to come here every week, but
I hope you continue to help other mothers just the way you helped me.
hank you very much! All of you!

Ligia (Artur’s mommy)
”
Ligia and Artur, her son, continued to use CMCP programs well into 2012.
In 2012, Ligia returned to work. She and/or her husband continued to bring Artur to our Saturday
Program. Early in 2013, she and her family moved from Toronto to seek out career opportunities.
When contacted for her permission to publish this letter for our annual report, she was pleased
to do so.

A ST HELEN SITE PARTICIPANT WROTE:
I started coming to the drop in with my son, Santiago, when he was 3 months
“old.
I was feeling quite isolated and down. The St. Helen’s Children’s Place drop in is
always very inviting and going there helped me to overcome these feelings. My son
is now 21 months old, we come almost every day to the drop in. Everyone, even the
other children know my son by name and are very kind and supportive. I have met
many families, created friendships and learned a great deal from them. The staff is
extremely knowledgeable they have connected us with other services (i.e. speech
pathologist) and I have taken advantage of the various workshops, parent relief
services and the drop in. I am very grateful to all the staff at the drop in for
providing my son and me with a safe and inviting environment.
Many Thanks
Fatima & Santiago

Volunteer Ayana wrote:
What makes me keep commitment… I used to be a professional Ballroom
“dancer
in Russia. Now I am a newcomer to Canada, (came to Canada in
November 2011). I feel strongly to continue my professional development here.
Therefore I desperately need to improve my English, earn the Canadian experience
and get to know the specific rules of professional communication. That’s the first
reason why I come to volunteer with College Montrose Children’s Place at St.
Helen’s Program every week. The second reason is I love kids, love to teach dance
- it makes me feel more alive, gives me energy and inspiration. The Kinder Gym
Creative Movement program gives me the opportunity.
What kind of benefits I’ve got from this volunteer position… certainly my English
“has
been dramatically improved. I feel more free speaking English after 5 months
of my volunteering here. I feel much less social isolation than when I started. It
feels like my work is in demand. It’s very rewarding when I see the little children
and their adults moving their bodies with me following the rhythm. This experience has boosted my self-esteem and has improved my personal well-being. I’m
with a great team. Everybody here is so friendly and supportive.
Sincerely, Ayana

Participants, our
Informal Volunteers
Lena first came to the CMCP Gooch program in Parkdale–
High Park with her son Elias six years ago. At that time, she
attended only sporadically. She appeared aloof and spent very
little time interacting and connecting with other parents. After the birth of her second son Marios, Lena became more consistent in her attendance and over time she began to engage with other participants. Gradually she took on
more and more responsible, helping roles during the program. On her own initiative, she
would identify tasks and chores and complete them. Other parents began to count on
her for help with their children.
When her third son Alexandros was born, Lena and her family moved out of the Gooch
community. The move did not deter her from attending the program and in fact she now
attends even more frequently. She is often the last parent to leave ensuring that she can
help staff clean and prepare for the following day. Lena regularly attends all workshops,
participant breakfasts and other events. She often bakes, cooks or buys food to share in
the program.
Without realizing it and through her consistent participation, Lena, the hesitant participant, has transformed herself into a leader and a volunteer. Many participants seek her
advice and friendship. She tells us that she comes to the program despite the distance
from her home because it is not only a place of learning for her children but it provides
a daily period of serenity and normalcy in her otherwise hectic life.
