Unicorn Daycare is structured as a play based learning program, supported by the E.L.E.C.T. document (Early Learning for Every Child Today). This translates to a childcare centre that runs its programs based on years of science and research that “Play Is Learning” and that early learning sets a lifelong foundation that shapes the future of a child and of a society. Unicorn realizes quality care is better achieved with the ongoing partnership with families and the community thus strengthening our Centre’s ability to meet the needs of each and every child.
