Our Philosophy

It is our goal to empower the children to respect and value themselves and others.  We provide a varied, warm, supportive and non-judgmental environment.

Children learn through play.  Our program offers the resources and opportunities  to learn in all areas of development, socially, emotionally, physically and intellectually.  Our resources include activities that provide a balance between both quiet and active, group and individual activities.

Angel Daycare Centre offers activities and materials that are easily accessible to children for creative endeavors, such as, art, music/movement, imaginative play/story telling, construction and a variety of ever-changing sensory bins.  The children are also provided with materials and activities which foster a greater understanding of the environment, multiculturalism and sharing of cultural heritage, a child's feeling of belonging to a family, community, and the world at large.

Age appropriate activities are readily available to the children in our care which encourage the development of concept building skills, such as, classifying, ordering, determining direction, and perceiving spacial relationships.

These activities are provided to encourage the development of receptive and expressive language as well as informal use of language, to model and expand verbal and listening skills and encourage communication and receptive language.

Books, cds, picture cards, flannel boards, and finger play are provided for these activities.  Puppets, singing/rhymes, and dramatic play help children to enhance their expressive language skills. 

Outdoor activities are provided to encourage the development of both large and small muscle skills.  Children are provided with a variety of play equipment, such as, slides, cars, see-saws, bouncy house, building and construction equipment, water and sand table, as well as running, jumping, climbing equipment and games, dramatic play, art, and creative expression.

Depending on the weather, outdoor activities are given equal importance as inside play times.

The activities that we have set up are developmentally appropriate and challenging.  Children are free to incorporate these learning experiences at their own rate.

Our goal, as child care providers, is to provide a loving, home like atmosphere for your child.  We know that in a relaxed environment, children will feel safe and enjoy the variety of stimuli that we offer.

We understand that daycare is merely a part of the child's day and that home is very important to them.  Therefore we maintain an ongoing communication with the family to ensure that we all have a clear understanding of the child.  Parents and guardians are encouraged to arrange a time to meet with us to talk about their child and his/her response to our program.

If you choose to enroll your child at Angel Daycare Centre, we want to first thank you for trusting us with the responsibility and opportunity to share in your child's life and to let you know we do not take this responsibility lightly.  This is a partnership to be entered into with honest and open communication, both as care providers and parents.  As a parent, we know what a step it is to leave your child in the care of another person and we want this transition to be as comfortable as possible.  Your child will be showered with love and attention while they are at Angel Daycare Centre.

Thank you for taking the time to learn about our centre, policies and the staff.  Please feel free to ask any questions you may have.  We hope that our relationship will be a long and beneficial one to all of us.  We are happy to be able to welcome you and your child into our daycare centre.

Each Child is Unique and Gifted...

Thus, every child at Angel Daycare Centre is given the encouragement and space to try new things, explore new ideas and develop their own creativity.
