A Child’s Story Daycare

Our children are our future, in each and every class there are children with bright futures ahead of them. Each one a little mirror of their parents, all very compassionate, bright, inquisitive people ready to learn and play. Because of the way that life is now, many adults have full time jobs that they love, which means that our children have to go into daycare in Edmonton. It is every parent’s worry to send their beloved child to daycare and have them bored, fighting, or not learning anything. Kids need time to have their minds stimulated, learning about nature or families etc. The things that a child learns daily is added onto, and becomes part of their story. This is what we nurture at A Child’s Story Daycare, a childcare centre in Edmonton South.

What is a Child’s Story?

A child’s story is their life, everything that they have learned, as well as what they want to learn and who they want to become. We help children write their story with fun activities in all different kinds of fields, with an additional focus on STEM. Children love to be stimulated mentally and really enjoy having fun while they learn, which is why we take them to different schools and parks so that they are always in a new environment, a new environment means new things to see, do, and learn! We strongly believe that when children are given the proper outlets for their energy, such as tower building in the flex room, a big game of tag on the playground, or even a nice cozy space to look at books, that they learn things. Kids learn best when they aren’t being spoken to directly, when they are able to see the frog they are learning about, or practice the song they hear. We offer this daily at A Child’s Story Daycare in Edmonton.

Safety in the Daycare

Of course, safety of the child is incredibly important. We are a fully accredited and licenced daycare in the heart of Terwillegar. We offer developmental reports, that can be accessed anytime by any parent or guardian, to ensure that the child is on par with the learning track that they are placed on. We have a ratio of students to supervisors that ensures 100% supervision, 100% of the time. Any transportation is undertaken in the safest way possible, with extra chaperones if needed. We also have 24/7 livestream cameras that parents can access to check in with their little one, if they’re having a bad day, or if they’re just missing their kiddo. Flexible pick up and drop off times means that the kids only stay for as long as you need them to, which leaves room for different schedules to ensure the kiddo is accustomed to dayhome life in Edmonton.

Enrollment/Registration

We are accepting new registrations currently also we are scheduling tours of the center. We ask parents to contact the center for further information and to schedule a time for tours.

Learning Objectives

Learning is at the core; it is the focus of everything we do at A Child’s Story Daycare. We bring in specialists every once in a while, to teach the young ones things they might not learn anywhere else, like Taekwondo, yoga, music, and art. This allows kids to explore different avenues that they might not get to explore at any other time, in the safety of their daycare with all their friends around. We believe in creative expression at all times as well, ensuring that we give enough time for kids to run a bit wild with paint, markers, crayons, and pens. This gives kids time to be free and to sharpen their fine motor skills. Sensory play is incredibly important in our daycare as well, as that allows kids to have fun and enjoy themselves. Sensory play has also been shown to be a way to encourage kids to explore and investigate, help build nerve connections in the brain, encourage the development of motor skills, support language development, and encourages “scientific thinking” and problem solving. Another important part of our daycare is mindfulness minutes. Mindfulness helps develop the whole brain and helps children understand their emotions and feelings, which helps in all aspects of their lives, and helps kids notice the positives, and develop a sense of appreciation, gratitude, and contentment. All of this put together equals happiness for the child.

Our Mission

As well as wanting kids to learn, we also put a big focus on happiness, fun, and enjoyment. Not every second of the day is fully structured, meaning they do have time to go outside and play with each other, without intervention by a leader. (Supervised at all times, leaders are there to intervene if necessary). This fosters strong relationships, as well as imagination and cooperation. All in all, our mission is to provide the best quality care for every child, and offer them a program that will develop each individual to their highest potential. We strive to nurture their physical, social and emotional, intellectual, and creative growth; assist them in the development of their skills in language, communications, and problem solving; and encourage them to grow into mature and moral individuals with positive self-esteem.
