Teddy Bear is a home-based licensed family child care. Our goal is to assist you in your efforts to nurture your child’s healthy development at all stages of life. Our high-quality child care program enables children of all ages to grow healthy, happy and strong – at their own pace. We offer care for the following age groups.
— Infants and toddlers aged 12 months to two years old receive consistent, positive attention in a cozy, loving environment where they will grow and thrive. Through an emphasis on creating and maintaining secure attachments, infants and toddlers learn to trust others and themselves.
— Preschoolers aged two to five years are encouraged to discover new things and become more independent in a relaxed atmosphere. Social skills like getting along with others, taking turns, sharing, and working together are the heart of our preschool activities.
— School age children aged five years through twelve years benefit from the comfortable, relaxed environment of our school age child care program. They thrive through one-on-one attention from caring adults, opportunities to assist younger children, and being a role model.
Play is an important part of children’s development; building language skills, encouraging social interactions, and preparing them for future learning. Our child care program emphasizes learning through independent and guided play, and interacting with others. A variety of activities are included in everyday activities to promote the child’s physical, social, creative, language and emotional development. Some examples are:
We provide your child an age-appropriate snack in the morning and afternoon based on the Canada Food Guide, along with milk and water. Snacks include a wide range of fresh fruits and vegetables along with protein and carbohydrate foods. Children bring their own lunch and the daycare provides milk with lunch.
Our days are filled with creative and educational activities. I believe that children learn through play, so our activities are “fun focused”. We learn the ABC’s, 123’s, shapes,colours and participate in various age-appropriate educational activities. Crafts, play-dough, coloring, painting and baking are just some of the activities the children participate in.
A well-planned schedule that provides a flexible yet predictable routine each day is offered.
