We LOVE our babies! We understand it's hard to leave your infant for the first time, please take comfort that our staff are nurturing & love to work with this special age group. They work with parents to ensure a smooth transition for your little one. The week before your child starts you will be invited to come in for a visit with your infant. This is an excellent opportunity for you and the staff to talk about what to expect and for you to share more information about your child. The second transitional visit and onwards will increase their independence without a parent. You are always encouraged to check in with how your child's day is going. At pick up the staff will fill you in on your infants day & you will receive a daily report outlining exactly what he/she did throughout the day (ate, slept & diaper changes etc.)

Learning Through Play
Play-based learning is an essential part of a child’s development. Play provides opportunities to integrate all areas of learning. Children have opportunities to participate in activities that support their own interests. As well, educators guide children during play and extend and support their learning in various play centers throughout the day.
