Foundations Of Learning

Drawing inspiration from Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years

Programming that not only cater to children’s inherent curiosity but also encourage their inclination for adventurous play. We prioritize their fundamental right to well-being, providing them with opportunities to engage, express themselves, and foster a sense of belonging within our centre and among our staff.

Belonging

Every child has a sense of belonging in which they are connected to others and contributes to their world.

Well-Being

Every child develops a sense of self, health, and well-being.

Engagement

Every child is an active and engaged learner who explores the world with their body, mind, and senses.

Expression

Every child is a capable communicator who expresses themselves in many ways.

"I just wanted to sincerely thank all of the staff at Lakeside for a great first few days of school for my trio. I was really nervous about how they would adjust to the new routines, environment, people, etc., and I have been so pleasantly surprised and so proud of their resilience; I know this was in large part to you guys and your welcoming, kind and calm approaches."

"I wanted to say a deep and heartfelt thank you to you guys. What an incredible transition week for my child! Thank you for your patience having me in the room and with me coming in and out as we navigated the first week… Not only is he excited to return, there was so real restraint collapse after his solo days which tells me how well he is acclimating. After a very difficult transition with my daughter, this week was very healing for me as well. I deeply appreciate the opportunity to help him ease in the way that was right for him. Ms Carrie, Julie, Daniella, Grace, and Brittany! I see how hard you are working and I am so grateful. Thank you!"

"One of my favourite things about having our daughter with Julie and Daniella is how many updates we get throughout the day. We constantly get to see our little Brooklyn playing with her friends at school. It helps us realize that she's doing great and loving daycare."
- Dan and Deb
"The level of care that Julie and the team give to our son is sensational. Like all parents, we were nervous about our child going to daycare, but he absolutely loves it, and it's all thanks to the outstanding care from the team at Lakeside."
