Home Again Childcare Services in Newmarket daycare openings, reviews and ratings

Daycare description / philosophy

Being an ECE graduate and having First Aid/CPR certification, you can be sure that your little one is in good hands at Home Again Childcare. I have over 20 years of experience working with children of all age groups in a variety of positions including work as an EA in a JK/SK classroom, resource teaching, Head Teacher in Junior and Senior Preschool and Infant Programs and as a private nanny for 2 families, I have a vast amount of experience to draw from. In addition to my professional experiences, I have also raised my own three children. I draw from all aspects of my experience to offer children in my daycare a nurturing, comfortable and stimulating environment.

My clean, smoke free home has a fully fenced yard equipped with a very nice playground for young children. In addition, it backs onto Bogart Public School and a much larger playground for the older children. We spend a good deal of time outside with a strong lean toward nature and conservation. In my daycare, children benefit from proper ECE planning while enjoying a nurturing family environment. The main floor of my home is wholly dedicated to the daycare and is professionally organized with a fully stocked craft centre, puzzles/manipulatives, dramatic play centre, reading area and plenty of toys to cognitively stimulate young minds.

We also enjoy the occasional offsite excursion, dependent of course on the number and ages of children in my care. We have enjoyed visits to the beach, Provincial Parks, a butterfly conservatory, a reptile exhibit, play centres, movie theatre, hikes in the forest, picnics in the park and many lunches out to practice our 'restaurant manners' and to sample foods from around the world. When treated as an adventure, children will eat almost anything with enthusiasm! The favourite so far - Vietnamese food.

Meals and snacks are provided and are typically healthy and low sugar (with the odd treat now and then). Our menu is diverse, often vegetarian and mainly offers homecooked meals. Any meat that is served is purchased from local farms and is free of hormones and antibiotics. Our flowerbeds have been converted to vegetable and herb gardens. Children actively participate in harvesting and preparing these foods for their meals and snacks during the summer months. Your child will never sit down to a meal of processed meats or Kraft Dinner......never. Menus will be noted in the journal on a weekly basis.

This summer, we will be hatching some chicken eggs. The children will participate in the care of the eggs, and once they arrive, the chicks. Once the chicks have matured enough, they will be relocated to a small farm where they will live out their lives without fear of becoming the next meal.

Home Again Childcare Services offers clients the best of both worlds: A nurturing, rich learning environment with a cozy, homey feel.
