Welcome to 

Building Blocks!

It is my belief that children learn through play.  Everything they see, touch, smell, taste and hear becomes a learning experience.  My approach is a simple one...to expose them to new things on a daily basis and encourage them to explore, experiment and ask questions.  I feel that children express themselves best when allowed to be creative and follow their own instincts.  A typical day at Building Blocks will be structured but flexible and will nurture their development socially, physically, emotionally and cognitively.   Weekly themes, group activities, crafts, outdoor play and imaginative play will keep the schedule interesting and will allow them to learn while they do what kids do best...PLAY!   Children are busy creatures so along with a creative cirriculum, proper diet and rest periods are needed to help maintain strength and recharge energy levels.  A weekly menu that is balanced and nutritious containing food from the Canada Food Guide will be the foundation of all meals and snacks.   The children will  be encouraged to assist in the preparation and clean up as well ...meal times can be learning times too!  Storytime and naptime will rest their little bodies to help them recharge for their busy day ahead.

Please take a moment to browse around my site and get a feel for what I can provide for your children while they are in my care.   There are forms here on the site for you to print off, sample schedules and menus,  a picture gallery so you can see all of the day care facilities and a blog that will be updated regularily with news, pictures and upcoming events.  My hope is to stay connected with parents as much as possible so that we are able to provide individualized care for each child.

Hopefully I have covered most of what you need to know here but I am always happy to answer any questions that you may have...so please don't hesitate to contact me.
