The activities that children will have the opportunity to participate in every day are:
- Arts and Crafts: Children use creative material to spark their imaginations.
- Dramatic Centre: Children role play in different setting such as a flower shop, bakery, store, and fire house.
- Circle Time: A twice daily opportunity for children and teachers to interact through singing, dancing and story telling.

We understand leaving your child will be difficult for you. You may sit with your child for a couple of minutes, however we strongly encourage parents not to stay for very long as it makes it more difficult for the child to adjust to the new setting. For all age groups, for the first 2 weeks of care, we recommend that new children arrive early (preferably before 9am) and leave by 3pm. Children who have hard time adjusting typically find a full day program to be too long.
