Our Day
I follow a structured daily routine to provide a sense of consistency and security for the children in my care. However, I also recognize that flexibility is key when working with young children. My routine serves as a general guideline and may be adjusted based on the ages, needs, and interests of the children in attendance each day.
While I strive to follow the schedule as closely as possible, factors such as individual child needs, weather conditions, and group dynamics may lead to slight variations. My priority is to ensure a nurturing, engaging, and developmentally appropriate environment for every child.
Drop Off Times
As of Jan 2024 the Ministry has implemented a new safe arrival program for all licensed childcare. I kindly ask that parents drop off their child by 8:30 am. At this time later drop off times can’t be accommodated.
