WHAT?
Daisies academy is a play based childcare program. Your child will spend their day exploring and playing in our purposefully designed indoor space filled with age appropriate toys and activities. We follow Alberta Flight Framework to guide our practice. The playful experiences will be hands - on and child led. Your child will learn how to care for themselves, one another and the world around them. Your child's innate sense of wonder will be celebrated and encouraged and they will find support with all aspects of their emotional and physical well- being.
At Daisies academy we embrace free age mixing, so your child will be learning and playing alongside other children with an age range of 2.5 years to 5 years old.

WHY?
Now more than ever, we know that in open ended and child led daycare, it contributes significantly to children's physical, mental and emotional growth. Early childhood education research shows that a natural joy and curiosity is nurtured when we let the child lead with their individual interests.
