Our most curious bunch of children. This developmental age is full of questions about understanding the world around them! The classroom programming is developed in a way that encourages children to learn through play, while the teachers find exciting themes that engage children in the learning process! Our structured program follows a daily schedule including learning centres such as dramatic play, art and crafts, books and music, building and puzzles, sensory and the ever popular circle time filled with stories, songs, and games that the children thoroughly enjoy being a part of. The programming is completely age appropriate and we work closely with individual children to help them reach milestones in their development and to help build confidence in their abilities to develop self-help skills. The toddler program is a busy one, creating a classroom environment full of life and energy!

The preschool program is designed by our registered early childhood educators to create a learning environment that fosters exploration and learning through play. The room is divided into centres which allow children to have choice in their day and find exciting new activities to build on their knowledge and understanding of the world around them. Our daycare prides itself on creating an environment that brings together themes (that the children help choose each week) and self-guided discovery. Our centres include: dramatic play, sensory, science, creative and art, building and blocks, literacy, numeracy, outdoor play, group discussions and learning circles, and a lot of spontaneous emergent activities based on the children’s direction.

Mirroring closely to the neighbouring school boards, the kindergarten curriculum is focused on play based learning in the areas of literacy and numeracy. Children in this age group have the option of coming to the centre on opposite times as ‘big school’ or joining us in our full day program. Specifically we work with these children on reading skills, letter and number recognition, printing, mathematics and science. We use literacy programs that are being utilized in the neighbouring schools so that children can build on their learning at both school and daycare. It sounds like a lot of work, but in actual fact the children enjoy every aspect of their day because the registered early childhood educators make sure that all of the learning objectives are done through play and fun! The kindergarten environment is bright and lively bringing in aspects of games, dance, music, songs and lots of laughs! The children have the opportunity to create their own learning through exploration and discovery both indoors and outside and take advantage of asking lots of questions to better their understanding of their world.

Our school age program is geared to provide both before and after school care, as well as providing fun and exciting full-day programming for PA days, summer camp, and both spring and winter breaks.

The before and after school program offers children the opportunity to engage in creative activities after a full day at school. The Registered Early Childhood Educators work diligently to create age appropriate activities and projects geared to the specific interests of each child in the program! The after school program consists of unique learning opportunities such as, creative art activities, cooperative group games, science experiments, outdoor games, hands on learning (ie. baking, large craft projects, building, computer play, etc…) and much more!

The programs that we offer during school breaks and PA days are the days that all the children look forward to the most. We have lots of exciting things going on each day and make a point of bringing in special guests or doing local field trips to keep the children interested and wanting to go to daycare each day. In the past our calendars and programs for these weeks have incorporated special days, events, and visitors that include things like:

The main objective of our school-age program is to give parents a safe place for their children to be in-between the end of the school day and the end of their work day where the children can have fun, be who they are, and not think that they are being ‘babysat’.

Our centres offer transportation (either walk or bus) to and from the local schools neighbouring the child care centre. Please call the centre directly to see if we can provide this service for your family.
