Cambridge Daycare

ldcare trends and updates. Our program philosophy is learning through play. We provide opportunities for children to grow in self-direction and independence by giving them the freedom to make choices and select the type of activities they prefer. We meet each child individually at their own unique level of development, considering every aspect of their whole person. We plan our program around the children’s interests, point of view and incorporate long-term projects, increasing competence in every part of their development including social, emotional, spiritual, mental and physical. Our qualified staff in every room plan activities based on the children’s interests. The children participate and explore in a variety of learning areas that include sensory, music and movement, gross and fine motor, creative arts, literacy, dramatic play, math, science, and nature. There is also opportunity to discover with natural and recycled materials, both indoors and outdoors. Our rooms have been designed to be fully contained. The educators and children have everything in their room from kitchenettes to cubbies and even washrooms for the children. Inside our centre we have additional play spaces that include a library, an island that overlooks the main floor rooms and an indoor gym (under construction). Our outdoor space provides ample room for all kinds of activities. Along the fence we have apple, cherry, plum and pear trees, with garden vegetables planted in between. A large Elm tree is nestled in the back part of the playground, which provides natural shade in the summer. We are conveniently located in Strathcona and have access to many community resources. Throughout the year we take advantage of the festivals and attractions that come to the area.
