What more could you ask for?

Everything your child needs in a FULL DAY Play Base Program!

​

Your child will be involved in many hands-on activities to enhance their learning experiences. Our approach to education provides a learning opportunity that encourages children to become independent and develop an understanding of their environment. Our day is filled with a variety of choices for learning, with a good balance of teacher-directed and child- initiated activities. Our classrooms are divided into interest areas that encourage your child to explore and imagine while developing school-readiness skills.

 

Our teacher to child ratio is 1:8. This is the standard with the licensing regulations of British Columbia. Many times, our ratio is much lower, giving that extra attention to the children in our care.

 

Teachers working with our Toddler/ Littles program have their Early Childhood Education (ECE) or Early Childhood Education Assistant Certificate (ECEA).
