(Ages 6 weeks - 18 months)
At Daffodils Nursery our smallest students are lovingly
cared for in a self-contained nursery. The environment is set
up to foster infants' physical, sensory, social, emotional and
intellectual development. Teachers can be found singing,
talking and reading to, cuddling, playing or rocking with the
babies every day.
Every baby has its own unique schedule and parents have the
peace of mind in determining the daily schedule. The teachers
keep a daily record of your baby’s growth and development,
and their progress is always shared with you.
Our nursery is designed with the safety and security of each
infant in mind, from the room layout to the specially selected
cribs, toys and equipment.

The toddler program is designed to provide a gentle
transition for children starting preschool. Teachers and
parents work together to help children become comfortable
in their new surroundings and the concept of being separated
from their parents for extended periods of time. The
program focuses on helping children develop independence,
motor skills, physical coordination, communication skills,
concentration and sensory discrimination. Children are active
learners who learns best when interacting with other
children, making major choices, discovering, grappling with
challenges and solving problems. During the day children are
encouraged to engage in enriched free play and teacher-
designed and teacher guided projects, planned so that they
expand upon what a child has freely elected to do. Language
development is encouraged through story time, songs,
nursery rhymes and social interaction.

By the age of three most children are developing
independence and are eager to learn about the world around
them. The Primary program is designed to help children
develop and discover new interests and skills. The program

language, maths and science/geography. Each class has
learning centers equipped with specially designed materials.
Children are free to move around between the different
centers and choose activities of their interest. A variety of
supplemental activities, such as: arts and crafts, story time,
imaginary play, computers, etc., are used to enhance learning.
