About Follow the Child

Each day at Follow the Child Daycare we strive to bring out the best in each of our children and help them reach their true potential. Our progressive teaching methods, sound curriculum developmental strategies, and effective classroom management styles, all work in unison to help challenge our students toward reaching these objectives. We create a partnership with families and our communities to build confident children who are caring, capable, and enthusiastic about themselves, the people around them, and the world at large.

Follow the Child Daycare Pedagogy

Follow The Child Daycare offers a learning program that is consistent with the Ministry of Education policies, pedagogy, and curriculum, and focuses on the foundations for learning outlined in the document, “How Does Learning Happen?”

All are welcome at Follow the Child Daycare

Inclusive Environment

We model and support behavior that is nonviolent and inclusive of all races, cultures, abilities, and family structures. Individual support plans are developed collaboratively with families and community professionals for all children with special needs enrolled in the program.

Meals and snack time provide educational experiences, as well as a peaceful, relaxed time for socialization and conversation.

Our Approach to Food & Nutrition

We have a variety of menu options to accommodate allergies and dietery restrictions, including vegetarian, vegan, lactose-free, gluten-free, and any cultural restrictions. Nutrition is vital to strengthen a child’s physical and mental development. Our hot lunches are catered by the well known company, Wholesome Foods.

Physical Fitness

We believe children learn better when they are physically active, and we make sure they have a rich balance of structured and unstructured active outdoor time. During inclement weather, we set up indoor physical activities to ensure children still get the exercise they need.

"Both of my sons attended Follow The Child daycare from age 14 months until 5 and 8 (they only stopped due to the pandemic). It’s a wonderful daycare full of loving and processional caregivers. The daycare teachers prepared my kids for success at school and they were taught to be responsible, kind and a good friend by Follow the Child. Personally, I felt Follow the Child was a close partner - part of the village - that helped raise my children! I highly recommend to anyone looking for a safe, loving, well-organized daycare for their kids."
