The daycare (preschool) program encourages all aspects of your child’s development. We provide activities and experiences that promote independence, self-help skills, confidence, and individuality. We also promote kindergarten readiness and various learning concepts as the children show interest.
Our rooms are well-equipped and arranged in various learning centres. The children are free to move from area to area, choosing the activities in which they wish to participate.
Our large indoor gym has climbers, slides, mats, bikes, and balance beams. Our facility has a large, fenced, outdoor play yard separated into areas for various age groups. We also share large playing fields, tall trees, a spray park, and two exciting playgrounds with the neighbouring Fulton Place Community League.
All the children receive a nutritional breakfast, hot lunches, and an afternoon snack prepared by our full-time cook.
