Management Team
We have an extraordinary team of care-givers for “our kids”
Our team of Early Childhood Educators are trained to provide the best care for your child while at our centre. We believe that children learn and develop best through play activities, appropriate role modeling and positive reinforcement. Our staff take the time to get to know all the children and attempt to develop an open and trusting relationship with each child.
We also believe parental input and support are important to ensure consistency between home and the day care environment.
