Reviews - Sunnyside Garden Daycare Centre

Sunnyside Garden Daycare Centre

The Daycare operates in partnerships with the children, parents and Garden Avenue School staff. We support early learning experiences for children. Program goals focus on fostering self-esteem, independence, individuality, creativity and pro-social behaviours.

Sunnyside Garden Daycare Centre promotes attitudes of fairness, respect and acceptance within an inclusive atmosphere of diversity.

We support every aspect of a child’s development when planning our programming, with emphasis on Early Childhood Education practices. Children are given many opportunities to particpate in on-site activities, community events and trip outings.

Our Teachers are qualified, experienced and dedicated individuals who are committed to providing a fun, stimulating and nurturing environment for the children in our care.

We are governed by a volunteer parent Board of Directors, who in conjunction with the Supervisor ensure all regulations and licensing requirements, as outlined by the Day Nurseries Act are followed.
