** Hey everyone, I have space available at Little Ducks, please share if you know anyone in Barrhaven or nearby needing care. 🙂
Hello, I have space available in my well established, private home daycare that has been providing Barrhaven children a safe and happy place to learn and play for over 13 years. One space available now, and one available in September. 🙂
🐥Little Ducks Daycare is located in the Chapman Mills area of Barrhaven (Strandherd/Woodroffe) near Metro Grocery store.
🐥Our hours are 7:30-4:30 with a bit of wiggle room possible with discussion.
🐥Tuition fees are $275 per week. Please note I am not part of the Government CWELCC plan and can not offer subsidized fees. But like all daycares, my fees are up to 75% tax deductible each year as a refund or deduction.
🐥Our home and daycare space are smoke free, pool free, cloth diaper friendly, and pet friendly. (we have a dog and two cats who are all very sweet-natured)
🐥I do not transport the daycare children in my vehicle, any traveling within our neighbourhood to parks and such is done on foot with our 4 seat quad stroller.
🐥We have a bright and sunny dedicated daycare space with playroom/classroom and bathroom on the main floor of our single family home.
🐥We have a large fenced-in and shaded side yard for outdoor play, and a great variety of equipment, toys, and books for the children to enjoy, along with daily music, circle time, art and activities, in a mixed play based and structured curriculum learning environment.
🐥Our daycare is 99.99% screen free. (We usually watch a Christmas movie on our last day before Christmas break.)
🐥I introduce French to the children at a preschool level - basic words and phrases are taught via books, songs, and games
🐥I provide a Pre-school curriculum for kindergarten readiness
🐥I provide a safe, fun, nurturing place for kids to learn and play, and offer healthy, home-made meals and snacks with lots of fresh fruits and veggies, protein, and less empty carbs included in our nutritious menu. (We are *not* a nut-free home and I cannot accommodate life threatening anaphylactic allergies.)
🐥I am an experienced, ECE trained daycare and preschool teacher and home daycare provider (20+ years), first aid/CPR trained, and a registered member of the Child Care Providers Resource Network. I am very warm, nurturing, safety conscious, fun-loving, conscientious, consistent, and firm. I teach and expect polite manners, cooperative behaviour, kindness to others, respect for others/pets/property/etc. I also teach and promote independence and encourage each child to practice and master self-care tasks such as dressing, healthy nutrition, toilet training, tidying up toys, etc. The children spend their days learning and having fun, with a mixture of structured activities and free play. Hugs and cuddles are always available. 💗
I have many glowing references from happy Little Ducks families, past and present. 💕
I invite you to check out our daycare page linked below for more photos of my little ducks in action! 🥰
Please send me a message for more info and start the process to schedule a tour and interview for your family. 🐥🦆🙂
