About our Pre-School and Child Care in Burlington

Brant Pre-School was started in 1967 by Joe and Wendy Kormos. They were two teachers, ahead of their time, who saw a need for quality child care in Burlington. Their first program was run out of a house. However, their reputation grew as did the need for child care, and so Brant Children’s Centre was built as an independent facility in 1972 at 3180 New Street.

Heather and Peter Knoepfli purchased Brant Children’s Centre in 1980. Over the past 40 years, they have improved the facility, programming, playgrounds and staffing to make it one of the best child care centres in Burlington. Several innovations were started at Brant, such as the After-School Program, use of computers, and an academic Kindergarten. Brant’s Enriched Academic Curriculum is now well-developed. Brant’s goal is to continue to be innovative as child and family needs continue to change in the 21st century.
