Miranda Panda's Home Daycare
Miranda Panda's Daycare in the West End has one full or part time opening in our preschool/kindergarten class. A school-like design, educational and fun toys and materials, and an ECE certified curriculum means it's worth having a look...
The design is like a kindergarten classroom, with many different learning centres, and adaptations that make them usable for the youngest children. It includes centres for writing, sensory, construction, science and discovery, listening, computer, dramatic play (with a wooden kitchen, tonnes of Melissa and Doug wooden food toys, and an extensive collection of puppets and dress up), quiet area, early literacy and early math, and a library of books (theme, French, Sign Language, science, phonics sets, classics, and easy early readers).
Early Childhood education is the primary focus, with language immersion and introduction (English, French, and ASL (Sign language)), arts and craft time, circle time in the morning where we teach concepts around our theme or focus, flash cards, name games, daily calendar routine, early math learning tools, early literacy tools, and many educational programs and toys. The centres and main toys are all labeled with pictures and words to create a print rich environment. We even have a "School Wall" for daily lessons with the children. I follow developmentally appropriate guidelines for all the children individually when planning curriculum, taking their abilities and needs into account with our theme based activities.
Nutritional food and a healthy green environment are also major focuses in this program. We wash everything in chemical-free cleaners, and believe in a green home environment. We use recyclables for craft supplies, post environmental inspirations and reminders around the classroom, and have switched over 90% of our toys and furniture to wood for the health and environmental benefits. We now serve vegan lunch and two snacks daily, and are willing and capable of accommodating any dietary restrictions. The children also plant and take care of flowers and veggies in our indoor and outdoor garden during the warm months, like with the Montessori approach.
This home daycare is smoke and pet free with all the safety features, tonnes of educational toys, games and activities, and lots of love and attention for your little one! New toys, games, and educational materials are added each week! The outside play area has a large climber, a gazebo for shade, wheeled toys, and a fully decked and fenced yard (no mud). We have a large green space behind our unit, and many local parks to play in.
I send home a monthly report and newsletter on what your child is working on, achievements they have made, and our plans for the coming month. This keeps you updated on what and how your child is learning and developing, and lets you know about the individual programs devised to focus on your child's needs, as well as providing tips for how you can support this learning at home. I even send home learning materials for you to use with your child that supplement the learning at daycare, free of charge.
I have a criminal record check, ECE qualifications, First aid and CPR training, immunization record, and am currently taking my French and ASL fluency certification. I have worked in a practicum at a highly rated French Immersion JK/SK classroom, and have learned a lot of French class songs and games that I continue in the daycare environment. I am currently studying CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) and can show patience and compassion to high needs children as well.
If you don't want your child sat in front of a television all day, care about a chemical-free green environment, and want your child to receive the best education in a homey atmosphere, this is the place.
The educational program runs from 9 am until 5 pm. We are available by request 24 hours 7 days a week to accommodate any shift you need us (date nights, random occasions, swing shift, etc.). I know how difficult it can be to find quality all hours care, so I pride myself in providing it for affordable rates.
Birth to 8 years is the specialty of this program, however we do have older after school babysitting programs available upon request. I can help with homework, and extend what is being taught at school.
The fees are:
$30 per day for full time ($150 per week)
$25 per day for two or more children full time ($125 per week, per sibling)
Part time fees are negotiable, but start at $5 per hour up to $40 per day.
Please contact for further details, more pictures, and for a tour of the facility. You can also have a free trial visit for your child. You won't regret this call. 519-265-3631.
Thank you for your time, and I look forward to meeting you and your little one! |
