Toddlers and preschoolers can attend both TayCare Wilson and TayCare Junior for a high-quality early childhood education in licensed settings. Both locations are purpose built facilities
All qualified staff are members of the College of Early Childhood Educators. The staff to child ratios vary depending on the program; toddlers (18 months to 2.5 years) have a ratio of one caregiver for five children and the preschoolers (2.5 to 3.5 years) have a ratio of one caregiver for eight children.
TayCare Children’s Centres are dedicated to the children’s learning, development, health and well-being supported by responsive Registered Early Childhood Educators. We focus on the active learning, exploration, play and inquiry. All of our educators see children as competent, capable, curious and rich in potential, and are active participants in all aspects of the program as well as their families. All Educators see themselves as co-learners with the children in the program and the environment as the third teacher.
Taycare Junior and Wilson have large fenced in playgrounds that are inspected yearly by a certified playground inspector to ensure that all CSA standards are met. In addition, the program staff do daily and monthly inspections.
We provide a full hot, nutritious lunch that meets with Canada Food Guide recommendations. In addition, morning and afternoon snacks are provided. We also have a breakfast program for children who arrive before 8:00 am; breakfast consists of toast or cereal with juice or milk for the low cost of 50 cents per day. Because some of the children in our care have severe allergies, we ask that no outside food be brought into the Centre. If your child has specific dietary requirements, please discuss this with the Centre supervisor at the time of registration.
Both TayCare Junior and TayCare Wilson are opened from 6:30 am to 6:00 pm Monday to Friday, with the exception of statutory holidays.
