Infant Care
Our infant program provides nurturing, responsive care for babies aged 6 weeks to 18 months. We understand that early attachment and emotional security are essential during this stage. Educators focus on individualized routines including feeding, napping, and developmental play while maintaining a calm and comforting environment. Infants benefit from age-appropriate sensory stimulation, tummy time, and interactive engagement that supports cognitive and motor skill growth.
Toddler Program
Our toddler program encourages curiosity and independence through structured play and guided exploration. Children participate in sensory activities such as water play, sand play, and hands-on tactile experiences that strengthen fine and gross motor skills. Educators use redirection and positive guidance techniques to support emotional development while promoting social interaction and early communication skills.
Preschool Program
Our preschool program prepares children for kindergarten by focusing on early literacy, math foundations, problem-solving, and structured classroom routines. Through arts and crafts, circle time, and interactive learning stations, children develop communication skills and academic confidence. Our balanced curriculum supports both creativity and cognitive development in a nurturing setting.
Out of School Care
Our Out of School Care (OSC) program supports children up to 12 years old before and after school. We coordinate yellow bus transportation and offer pickup services from select schools near Bonnie Doon. Children receive homework support, structured activities, and opportunities for social engagement in a supervised environment that promotes responsibility and independence.
Outdoor Program
Daily outdoor play is an essential part of our programs. Children enjoy time in our spacious backyard where they participate in gross motor activities, group games, and seasonal experiences. Outdoor time follows Alberta weather safety guidelines to ensure comfort and protection. When outdoor conditions are not suitable, indoor gross motor activities are provided.
Seasonal Programs
Throughout the year, we offer engaging seasonal programming that keeps children active and inspired. Our summer activities may include water play and community outings, while winter programs include themed crafts and indoor movement activities. Seasonal programming ensures children remain engaged and socially connected year-round.
