Ancaster - Play and Learn Private Home Day Care in Ancaster daycare openings, reviews and ratings

Daycare description / philosophy

Hi! My name is Elaine and I have a private home day care in Ancaster (Meadowlands area). I have two spots available; one in January 2026 and one in July 2026. I have successfully operated my home daycare for over the past twenty five years. My philosophy is that children learn best in a warm and nurturing environment with other children. It is still important for me, as their caregiver, to provide opportunities for caregiver initiated play and learning experience throughout the day. Children of all ages in my childcare are given opportunities to learn through experiences with stories, songs/music, art, dramatic play, and sensory materials, number and letter activities, and the outdoors. Even children younger than two years, tend to choose to participate in the above activities. Our activities are tailored to the interest, abilities as well as the ages of the children in my care. I feel that good communication between the parent and the provider is of the utmost importance of a quality daycare. My goal is that you feel completely confident and reassured when you leave your children in my care. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your child. -Monday to Friday 7:30am-5:30pm -Available care for children between the ages of 1 year to 4 years old -CPR and First Aid certified -Police clearance -No pets -Smoke free -Homemade nutritious meals.
