As a private preschool and licensed North Vancouver daycare, we have recently joined the North Vancouver school board in providing child care services to those in the Queensbury Elementary school area.
Why you’ll love our quality, North Vancouver daycare:
Our North Shore child care centre is a close-knit and friendly space that provides a fun, engaging experience for families in our community. Our North Vancouver daycare has become an amazing place to specifically foster education and exploration in children.
We’ve dedicated a lot of resources and care into creating an inspired space in our local child care centre. We have two open classrooms, a patio and a new open concept space, where you can join other parents in seeing your child be active, enjoy their educational lessons, and positively socialize with their peers.
Enjoy the perfect location for a preschool to make for an easy transition to grade school.
Our North Vancouver daycare centre is located on the grounds of Queensbury Elementary School. By being so close, your child will get a head start by familiarizing themselves with an elementary school setting.
For example, children can begin with our all-day group daycare and preschool (2.5 to 5 years old) and then easily transition into kindergarten daycare by continuing before- and after-school care (ages 5 to 12) at Rainforest Learning Centre.
Inversely, kids already in elementary school at Queensbury can have their toddler siblings only a few steps away, allowing them both to receive age-appropriate child care in the same building.
Give your child a customized preschool education that includes aspects of ‘emergent curriculum’ along with tried-and-true early learning methods.
A good preschool curriculum addresses the needs of early childhood learners and nurtures positive development. Children are active and eager to learn, and they deserve an active and engaging learning experience.
Combining the spontaneity and fluidity of ’emergent curriculum’ with the most tried-and-true, traditional pre-K methods, our balanced approach to early childhood education gives kids the opportunity to positively develop social skills, brainpower, and creativity among their peers.
We keep our North Vancouver daycare and child care programs both fun and educational.
You can expect much more than just nanny services from us. When your child attends our child care centre, they receive a unique mixture of preschool education and, well, fun!
Our trained childcare workers share a common goal of giving your child a hands-on and active preschool day through exciting, educational activities such as:
- Theme days: We explore monthly themes that guide learning. For example, a theme of ‘nature’ will have activities and excursions specifically designed around that theme (i.e. painting bumble bees, counting their stripes, and visiting a ‘bug room’). This encourages a well-rounded understanding of the topic.
- Snack time: Emphasizing healthy eating and nutrition with our group snack time. Children share fruits and vegetables they bring from home.
- Environmentally centered activities: We encourage and teach children to reuse and recycle, which engages them in early social responsibility.
- Support in skill-building: During ‘Buddy Days,’ children are paired with an older child to encourage building skills in reading, crafts, and games.
- Field trips and excursions: Bringing children on excursions broadens their view of the world. This includes going to the movie theatre, bowling alley, beach, indoor fun zones, and nature walks in our community parks.
Our carefully structured activities and fun playtimes always keep your child’s learning abilities in mind. Whether it is by use of phonics or demonstration, we are attentive to how each child is able to learn best, giving them the necessary attention that is harder to come by in larger daycare and preschool companies.
