I offer a fun focused day home environment where your child will enjoy spending their days and will be excited to return! As an educator, my goal is to provide a safe and happy place for your child to learn and grow! I believe that children have absorbent minds and therefore I want children to have endless opportunities to play, explore, experiment and discover! Children learn so much through play, both provider led and free play. I offer activities that are developmentally appropriate for the children in my care as well as allowing them the opportunities to lead themselves and other children in a variety of experiences.

Sample food menu

Morning Snack - We have fruit with a grain product & yogurt, cheese or milk. The children love muffins, banana bread, crackers, etc. This meal time often looks like breakfast. Lunch - Our lunches consist of 4+ food groups & our absolute favourite lunch is some variation of breakfast. Afternoon Snack - Afternoon is similar to morning snack with fruit, a grain & yogurt, cheese or milk. Sometimes I make the children fruit & vegetable smoothies too.

Allergen information

We are not able to provide a peanut or gluten free home.
