Hop, Skip, and Jump Home Daycare in Kanata daycare openings, reviews and ratings

Daycare description / philosophy

At present I am not accepting new children because I am full. Thank you for your consideration.

Description:
My Home Daycare provides a comfortable home setting in which your child(ren) will build a foundation for socialization, emotional growth, intellectual ability, and physical maturation. The daily activities reflect a healthy balance between play and rest, active and quiet times, structured group times and individual activity and of course, appropriate affectionate adult-child interactions.

Outdoor play will be a part of our daily activities, weather permitting. Books and music is also a very important part of each day.

My goal is to provide a safe, clean, bright, caring and child friendly environment for your child(ren).

I strive to provide an atmosphere in which self-confidence is encouraged, opportunities are provided to build positive relationships, and an interest in learning is promoted through a variety of activities. I want to create opportunity for your child(ren) to develop independence, creativity, and co-operation. With lots of individual care and attention for your child(ren).

My goal is to provide care that lays a foundation for your child(ren) to grow into caring, polite, respectful, contributing adults.

I have my main level set up for eating and have a bright play area that opens up into the covered fenced backyard, which has a variety of activities for the children to do (trucks, sandbox, water table, sprinkler, ect). My house backs onto a large field and park. There are also 7 parks in the area within walking distance that we can choose to go to. There is also a large playroom downstairs that is filled with a variety of toys for both boys and girls of all ages. My house is set up so that each child who requires a nap has their own room and playpen with bedding.
