Daily Programming & Learning
Each day begins with singing, dancing, and laughter. We explore:
-
Languages: French, English, Spanish, and basic sign language
-
Early learning: Numbers, colours, alphabet, shapes, self-introductions, and favourite things
-
Social-emotional growth: Giggles, sharing, and celebrating each child’s unique personality
Behavior Guidance
We use positive reinforcement, redirection, and natural consequences to support appropriate behavior.
Time-outs may be used briefly when necessary. Corporal punishment is never used or permitted.
Outdoor Play and Exploration
Children enjoy:
-
Climbing, tumbling, and hide-and-seek
-
Rainy-day puddle jumping and nature walks
-
Gardening and watching seedlings grow
-
Building self-esteem through positive support and creative play
Outings & Adventures
We take walks to Orange Park for picnics and play, and explore the neighbourhood to discover everyday wonders.
***Children will not be transported by vehicle. All outings are done on foot or via my mobile bus—yes, a real bus filled with smiles and giggles!***
Meals & Snacks
Children are offered two nutritious meal choices daily, based on the Canadian Food Guide. They are encouraged—but never forced—to eat. If your child requires a special diet, please provide the necessary food.
Nap & Quiet Time
A two-hour rest period is provided daily. Children are not required to sleep but will be offered quiet, age-appropriate activities.

Clothing
Please dress your child in comfortable, casual clothing suitable for messy play and outdoor activities.
