We provide morning snack, lunch and afternoon snack that are made at the centre following the Canadian Food guide. We have snack around 9AM in the morning and around 3PM in the afternoon.
At lunch time we sit down to a family style meal, staff members sit with the children to help guide them in proper table manners such as passing food, serving themselves, saying please and
thank you, then clearing their dishes and putting them in the sink.
After lunch we have nap/quiet time, the children lay on mats and are given the opportunity to sleep or rest quietly. They are allowed to bring a comfort item from home to have during this time. We darken the room and play relaxing music to help the children rest.
nap/ quiet time
​At our centre we set up an area for dramatic play, this area is changes regularly to give them an assortment of play scenarios. Some of the themes we use are kitchen area,
vet clinic, store/market, zoo and camping. This area allows children to role play, learn to cooperate, problem solve, think creatively and lead their play experience.
dramatic play
​Children learn through touching, smelling, hearing, tasting and seeing. We provide daily sensory experiences to promote learning, some examples of this type of play is a sand table with funnels, measuring spoons and buckets, another is a magnet table with magnetic tiles, letters, tins and balls. We also use a water table with items that float and items that sink.

​We LOVE to play outside! Our yard has a bike track, a huge sand box, playhouses, slides, grass, wood chips, and many toys. Outdoor activities help develop gross motor skills, test physical limits, play co-operative games, connect with nature and run, run, run!

We LOVE to be outside!
If the weather allows we let the children burn off some energy after school at the park or playing a game in the field,
we also take regular walks
or bike rides on the nature trail
