Little Kids Daycare Center is fully licensed by the Ministry of Education and our standards meet or exceed the provincial requirements. The center is routinely inspected by the Health Department, Fire Department, and licensing officers from the Ministry of Education.
Schedule
At our center, we thoughtfully design each program to create a nurturing and engaging environment that supports the unique needs of every child. We follow personalized schedules and feeding times, with daily documentation to support each child’s individual development at their own pace. Children enjoy a balanced mix of indoor and outdoor time, where they are encouraged to explore, learn, and grow in a safe and loving space. Through daily activities, crafts, songs, games, and age-appropriate educational toys, we foster an environment where young minds and bodies can thrive.
Meals
Nourishing little bodies and minds
We believe that nutritious food plays a vital role in a child’s growth and daily experience. That’s why we prepare all our hot meals onsite with care and attention. Children are provided with a healthy early-morning snack, a balanced lunch, and a mid-afternoon snack, all aligned with the Canadian Food Guide and exceeding Ministry requirements. Our seasonal four-week rotating menu ensures variety and freshness throughout the year.
As a nut-free centre, we prioritize safety and do our best to accommodate known allergies and dietary restrictions. All meals are served in the classrooms, where Educators sit and eat alongside the children—creating a warm, social environment while teaching nutrition, table manners, and lifelong healthy eating habits.
Sleep
Because even superheroes need naps
We understand how important rest is for growing minds and bodies. Depending on their age, children will either nap, rest quietly, or engage in calm activities—giving those who need sleep the chance to recharge. (Let’s face it, even the busiest little explorers need a break!)
Educators perform sleep checks every 10 to 20 minutes for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers to ensure each child is resting safely and comfortably. Rooms are kept with enough light to allow proper visual supervision without disturbing the restful atmosphere. Each child has their own labeled crib or cot, providing a cozy, familiar space to relax and drift off.
Outdoor Playtime
Fresh air and fun every day
Outdoor play is an essential part of our daily routine and supports healthy physical and social development. In accordance with Ministry of Education guidelines, children enjoy at least two hours of outdoor time daily. Typically one hour in both the morning and afternoon—weather permitting. We believe in the value of fresh air, active play, and exploring nature, so we head outside every day unless the weather is truly uncooperative.
Experienced Staff
Caring professionals who make a difference
At Little Kids Daycare Center, every member of our team—whether a registered Early Childhood Educator, resource teacher, or support staff—is proudly referred to as an educator. We choose our educators not only for their qualifications and experience, but for their genuine connection with children and commitment to ongoing learning.
All of our educators meet or exceed provincial standards and undergo thorough screening, including reference checks and vulnerable sector checks to ensure we welcome only the most dedicated, compassionate, and knowledgeable individuals to our team. To support high-quality care and programming, educators are engaged in ongoing learning and have access to professional development outside the classroom—so they’re always growing, just like the children they support.

Hygiene
Maintaining good hygiene in child care center is necessary. With so many young kids in proximity, the risk of cross infection between children is high. The staff at Little Kids works to educate the children about proper hygiene habits such as handwashing, while also practicing safe health protocols to demonstrate the Center’s commitment to the safety of the children. This includes proper diaper changing and disposal as well as adopting a rigorous cleaning and sanitization program, which is scheduled and documented.
Financial Assistance
Canada-Wide Early Learning & Child Care Agreement
We believe that every child deserves access to high-quality early learning, no matter their family’s income level. Through the Canada-Wide Early Learning and Child Care Agreement, enrolled childcare centers receive financial support to help reduce the cost of daycare.
