Maya Angelou once said: “I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”

PLASP educators and children are putting these words into action during PLASP Custodian Appreciation Week, from February 13 - 17, 2023, to celebrate the unsung heroes that make it possible for PLASP licensed child care centres and before and after school programs to run safely every day – custodians!.

These essential workers play a key role in keeping PLASP children and staff safe. On top of daily in-school safety checks ranging from fire alarms systems checks, to the mechanical maintenance of boiler rooms, heating and cooling systems, and more.

To say thank you, PLASP children created handmade thank you cards for the custodial staff at their program location. In doing so, PLASP children also gain a better understanding of all that custodians do.

PLASP shows appreciation to the dedicated custodians in Peel and Toronto employed by the school boards that PLASP partners with, who on a daily basis ensure the health and safety of the thousands of PLASP children and staff in our programs.

Thank you!
