Food and Nutrition
one of the most important things we do is to help your child learn healthy eating habits. Children need a balanced diet with food from all 3 food groups- vegetables and fruits, whole grain products, and protein foods.
We offer home cooked fresh organic meals on daily basis.
We avoid foods that have added sugar or sugar substitutes, processed and pre-packaged foods which tend to have high amounts of sodium.
Toddler Program ages: 2 to 6
In our toddler groups, play becomes much more focused on group physical activities. We call it ‘play with a purpose’. During this stage, development is rapid and rewarding, for children and parents alike. Crawling, walking, running, jumping, climbing, and all the while, learning. Our toddler rooms are equipped with toys and apparatus to aid and support their rapidly growing skills, opening a big wide world for them to explore and discover in complete safety.
Infant program ages: 0 to 2
One thing we all know about babies is how much they love to explore the new world they’ve been born into. The best way for them to do this is by interacting with that world, so we’ve created a range of unique activities that allows them to experiment and explore through different play and sensory experiences, all the while aided and encouraged.
Our educational programs
The Best Daycare
The educational programs at Just like home family daycare were created with our children’s needs in mind: to mature and develop in a safe yet stimulating environment. Take a look below to learn more about each program.
Outdoor Play
Outdoor play improves physical development Physical skills are important for growth, physical coordination and the movement of the body. When children play outdoors they increase their ability to balance, jump, climb, throw, run and skip.
Our yard is filled with slides, swings, teeter totters and ride alongs.
We also have and many more fun outdoor activities.
Art and crafts
When creating an arts and crafts project, children are able to develop their fine motor skills. Art also allows your child to expand their essential vocabulary. They'll learn the names of different shapes, colors, and materials without it seeming like a chore or a memorization exercise.
Imaginative Play
Hats, bags and giant boxes are just some of the objects we use to encourage imagination and creativity during playtime. As toddlers become more able and independent, we respond with a focus on self-managed activities as part of day-to-day play, such as dressing up, ‘cooking’ in the play kitchen and team games, all essential to their growing skills
