I operate a smal licensed family childcare with a maximum of five children to ensure quality care. I hold my Early Childhood Care and Education certificate from Capilano University along with many infant/toddler and special needs courses, currently I am working on obtaining my degree. I run a program that is based on respecting children and responding to their interests ( Reggio Emelia philosophy). Learning through play and using our imaginations is something we do lots of here through various activities indoors and out. I hope to help children use their imaginations more by using open ended materials, natural products and not overwhelming them with dozens and dozens of toys being out all at once. I have a large outdoor play space with a garden, sandbox and 'forest' play area. I am conveniently located close to the library, playgym and several parks.
I am interested in working together with families who are comfortable having open communication so your son or daughter can have the best environment to learn and grow in.
Admission conditions
I currently have availability to cover a mat leave of one of my existing families. Care will be available from Oct 1 2012 until July 31 2013. There will be a strong chance your child will be able to continue care with myself as I will have two children leaving for Kindergarten Sept 2013.
