Our Childcare Philosophy

Today’s child can change tomorrow’s world.

With this premise, we can engage children to successfully achieve their finest expression, become model citizens of Canada, and lead our country towards global economic and cultural strength.

We believe in collaborating with parents, government agencies, staff, management and concerned community members in developing and continuously improving an evidence-based model of Early Childhood Education to provide an excellent childhood learning experience.

Our Motto

Happiness Through Learning

In practice, this translates into providing environments, materials, interactions and learning resources that will maximize a child’s ability to achieve the best possible expression of him/ herself.

Features & Amenities

Outdoor Playground

Our facility has a regularly maintained 20,000 square foot playground that is fully fenced. Children are always supervised by staff during playtime.

Security Features

All parents with children enrolled in the childcare program will receive a unique security pass to gain access to the building. At all times the outside doors are locked and all hallways, entrances, and classroom have high-resolution cameras.

Daily Reporting

Parents are set up on our daily reporting platform which sends a summary to their email inbox at 6PM. The report covers how much the children ate, how long they slept, what they learned that day, as well as occasionally include photos of activities. Parents can also send messages using the app as another avenue of communication.

Extensive background checks are conducted for all employees, including reference verification from previous employers, police checks, and a vulnerable sector search. We conduct monthly fire evacuation drills and have policies for inclement weather that is regularly communicated to all staff.

Child Friendly & Bright Classrooms

Our classrooms are bright, modern, child-friendly, and inviting. Several large windows surround each classroom, letting in ample natural sunlight. Rooms are divided by age groups so that classroom amenities and bathrooms are customized for the height of each age group.
