Daycare Programs in Etobicoke
The goal of the programs at LadyBug Daycare in Toronto is to provide a safe and healthy environment that allows the child to develop a positive self-image. LadyBug Daycare provides a variety of age-appropriate activities, which are posted on the program plans in the classrooms.
The daily program provides a balance of quiet and active play; indoor and outdoor activities; individual and group time; teacher-directed and child-initiated experiences; along with transition periods.
Routines play a large part in the daily schedule. The following routines foster your child’s independence: eating, toileting (diapering), dressing, and resting.
Full-Day Program
The Full-Day programs run from 7:45 AM to 5:45 PM. The fee includes morning breakfast, hot lunch, and afternoon snack.
Part-Time Program
Part-time means the child will attend LadyBug Daycare less than 5 days a week from 7:45 AM and 5:45 PM. The fee includes morning breakfast, hot lunch, and afternoon snack.
Weekly Themes
Each week, a new and exciting “theme” for children to focus on is worked into the curriculum. Arts and crafts activities, printing, journal, games and toys, dramatic play, an introduction to math, outdoor activities, reading/story time, printing program, science and educational videos, music, books, puzzles, blocks, dancing, and musical instruments are part of our daily activities based on a weekly theme, plus music lessons.
Experiences Beyond the Classroom
At LadyBug Daycare, learning goes far beyond the walls of the classroom. Through seasonal activities, special celebrations, water play during the summer, and field trips, children experience the joy of discovery in every season.
We celebrate special days from around the world, creating an inclusive environment where every child feels at home while learning from the rich diversity of their peers.
Our little learners also enjoy library visits, neighbourhood walks and picnics, fire station tours, and local grocery store trips, giving them opportunities to build social, language, and practical life skills.
With each experience, we focus on the overall growth of every child as we nurture curiosity, confidence, and a lifelong love for learning. We notify parents about all our trips through newsletters and reminders sent the day before.
Nutritious Meals and Snacks
LadyBug Daycare provides a nutritious hot lunch (catered by Yummy Catering) and two nutritious snacks. Special dietary restrictions for medical or religious reasons will always be observed. With sufficient notice, the centre will try to accommodate requests for special diets. Parents may be required to provide the necessary foods.
