Our child care services provide safe, enriching environments for children from infancy to preschool.
Our caring team of early childhood educators connect with your children and create stimulating, inclusive and supportive programming that helps them to reach their full potential!
We base our programmes on daily observations by teachers so we can be responsive to a child’s interests and needs, and create activities and projects that equal to meaningful learning experiences.
Our spaces are welcoming, attractive, and engaging to children with airy rooms, natural light and child-sized furniture. We provide children with a wide range of stimulating open-ended materials, toys and resources designed to help children explore, investigate and use their imaginations. Our outdoor spaces provide fresh air play time for all age groups.
Our expert instructors know what children are capable of learning and how they learn effectively. We use this knowledge to develop goals for children’s learning and development that are age appropriate and unique to each child’s personality.
