Daily Activities
Each child’s well-being is supported by a flexible daily schedule which is sensitive to their biological rhythms and provides a balance of quiet and active experiences, individual and group experiences as well as indoor and outdoor play.
Meals & Snacks
As children are beginning to form their sense of self and develop impressions around health and physical well-being, we place great value on being positive, motivating role models. We nurture the well-being of the whole child by not only providing children with nutritious meals and snacks but also by establishing positive attitudes during meal-times and allowing children the opportunity to serve themselves.
Three snacks (morning, afternoon, evening) and a hot lunch are provided for the children each day. The Centre uses a catering service (Healthy Kidz Catering) for food provision. The nutritional content of our menus reflects our adherence to Canada’s Food Guide and is approved annually by a registered Dietician. In addition, children are exposed to various food experiences in their own classroom which introduce a variety of foods from diverse cultures and regions.
Physical Activity
Children are provided with regular opportunities to be physically active. They not only engage in two hours of programmed outdoor gross motor activities daily but also participate in various music and movement activities in their individual classrooms. Extracurricular fitness and movement programs are also offered.
Care routines
Care routines such as eating, toileting, diapering, sleeping and dressing provide opportunities for learning about self-care and allow children to practice essential self-care skills. Children’s health and well-being is monitored and documented daily and any concerns are immediately communicated with families. Documentation of each child's day is done through the Lillio App.
