We start with a safe environment 

An environment that is safe, nurturing, and full of love for infants where children can become comfortable and secure in a group setting. Our infant room environment provides the flexibility that is needed for children to practice their natural ability for learning and exploring the world around them. 

Qualified educators

Our qualified educators design and implement a program that fosters the love of learning, exploration, and curiosity through play.  

Our planned experiences and learning objectives are reflective of Ontario's Pedagogy; How Does Learning Happen? and The ELECT document (Early Learning for Every Child Today). We augment each day with programming that puts emphasis on artistic expression, music, movement, science and exploration and language. 

The Infant Room is equipped with developmentally appropriate materials and interactive toys that provide texture, sounds and offer a range of different sensory experiences that help stimulate and encourage growth in all aspects of learning. 

Above all else, our educators are warm and responsive to each child’s needs. Emotional development at this age is based on establishing a sense of trust in their environment and their caregiver.

Language enriched environment

Art is an integral part of our program, as it serves as an outlet of personal expression and communication. In our program, we support early language and literacy skills which are learned best through everyday moments with your child- reading books, singing, talking, laughing, and playing together. 

Our sign language and activities create ways for infants to communicate emotions and desires prior to spoken language development. We focus on presenting infants with opportunities to engage in experiences that promote exploration using all of their senses.

Sense of self and well-being

The foundation of belonging and well-being are an important aspect in our infant program. They are a vision for all children’s future potential and a view of what they should experience each and every day. We look for new ways to bring to life the positive and open relationships within families to balance the success and development of a child. 

Our families are always encouraged to share any information about their child at drop off in order to create a seamless home to daycare transition. At pick up, you will receive a summary of your child's day including their feeding, diapering and experiences. We are a Breastfeeding Friendly facility and welcome our moms to leave bottled expressed milk for their babies as well.
