Daily Routine
We offer a nutritious snack at the beginning of the program, then encourage the kids to be active by going outside to play. Each day we have a planned activity that will develop their knowledge of cooking, crafts, games and more.
Periodically, we will take field trips in the community. Because of child/ staff ratios, ALL children at the centre will be required to participate. Towards the end of the afternoon, opportunities to do quiet activity (including Homework) will be offered.
