Quality Childcare

Your child's early years are very important.  That is why, as a parent, you must demand the best care for them. 

Research indicates that 85% of a person's intellectual, emotional and social ability is formed by the age of five, making the early years a vitally important time in a child's life.

We know from 40 years of research that children who receive high-quality care:

  • Demonstrate greater social skills
  • Excel in reading and math
  • Have better school attendance records
  • Are more motivated to learn and have a higher commitment to school
  • Are more likely to graduate from high school and pursue a post-secondary education or training
  • Exhibit a lower rate of unemployment
  • Have the potential to have higher earnings over their lifetime

A child's earliest teachers must love, respect, and nurture them.  Selecting a provider who connects with young children emotionally is critical.  It's very important that a family selects a provider who reads to their child every day, encourages curiosity, and allows a child to explore the world around him/her.
