Amber's daycare program accepts both infants and toddlers for enrollment. Program runs Monday through Friday from the hours of 7:30 AM to 6:00 PM. Through daily hands on activities, children will be exposed to eight essential developmental areas that are of fundamental importance in educating the young mind. Our program will introduce your child to Language, Literacy, Mathematics, Science, Creative Arts, Social and Emotional development, Music and Physical Health. Our program caters to your child’s educational, supervisory and developmental needs and is designed to provide each child with hands on learning experience.
COMMUNICATION
Parents are their children's first teachers; therefore I honour your role as a parent and as the first and most important teacher in your child's life. I support this relationship by providing educational opportunities that help each child reach important developmental milestones. Through nurturing and individualised attention, I take great care to provide a safe, secure, and fun learning environment for your child. I feel that good communication between parent and provider is a very important part of a quality daycare. Because of this, I am committed to creating a strong bond with you and your child, helping to ensure the best start to your child's life.

TEACHING PHILOSOPHY
I know that children learn best by "doing". Therefore, the activities the children participate in are concrete, hands-on, and encourage participation, but most of all fun, because I believe that learning is an exciting experience. Furthermore, I know that children also learn through play; because of this I do not under estimate its importance on a growing child's mind, body and spirit. Therefore, the children in our care receive lots of both free-play and structured-play throughout each day. During structured-play I primarily only have one group of toys or activity out at a time in order to allow the children to concentrate fully on each thing they do. My intent is to provide each child in my care with a perfect balance of play-time and learning experiences throughout each day. Each child is given the opportunity to develop at his or her own pace in a setting that is challenging, enjoyable, and instills a lifelong love of learning.

MY GOAL
My goal is to make learning for all ages fun and non-intimidating, by encouraging laughter and provoking smiles, ensuring that each child in my care feels safe, loved, and happy. I believe children learn what they live. I encourage children to get dirty to experience things and have fun.For the various age groups of children in my care, I offer developmentally appropriate activities, designed to help the whole child grow and develop socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually. My goal is to give each child in our care a solid and well-rounded skill base to help prepare them for a strong beginning in school. I strive to foster creativity and to in still joy in learning; to provide a place were children are encouraged to play and challenged to learn. I feel that both you and your child will be as enthusiastic as I am about our program.
