Creative daycare has been a family-owned and operated business for 22+ years. After graduation, I worked at 14 different centers and learned each center’s unique aspects to start up my daycare. Creative Daycare is a licensed childcare center in Richmond, BC. We are licensed to provide childcare for all ages, but currently accommodate children 18+ months. I am passionate about working with young children and complying with childcare regulations. At Creative daycare, high-quality care is provided at an affordable price, allowing parents to pursue their careers and have peace of mind that their child is in safe and capable hands.
Qualification: Early Childhood Educator (ECE), Infant/toddler certificate, and Special Needs certified. Red Cross instructor, and Community Care Licensing Officer certified.
Experience: Working with children with Special Needs at community care facilities and daycare centers, college instructor teaching infant/toddler and ECE courses.
All staff have a complete orientation to the program, and before hiring, all their credentials are validated. I have dedicated staff who care for the children lovingly.
The programming is a design based on theories of great philosophers: Piaget, Skinner, and Maria Montessori. The early years of your child’s life are some of the most developmentally important. I am fortunate enough to provide your child with the positive experiences and skills required for life.
Creative daycare children learn 7 skills that are essential to their future. “ It is a Bright beginning.”
- Focus and self-control → Following the daily schedule, learning to focus and having self-control while engaging in the present task (ex. actively engaging during circle time/ art activities or science experiments).
- Perspective-taking → Children learn to think from another person’s point of view during free play. At circle time, they engage in discussing the characters or asking open-ended questions to understand why the character behaved in a certain way,
- Communication → children learn how to communicate about their needs and feelings positively.
- Implement concepts → Monthly themes are relatable to the child’s life experiences to form connections and incorporate what they learnt effectively.
- Take challenges → Children learn to take on challenges in an environment safe to explore without restrictions. They are not afraid of failure since their efforts are encouraged, not judged.
- A self-directed → Consistent schedule allows one to freely move from one routine to another.
- Engaged learning → Free play encourages them to choose toys of their interest or learn new skills, this process promotes using open-ended materials and engages in social play with their peers
Children are learning in a safe environment and are excited to come to the center.
