Little Champions Daycare & OSC - Edmonton

Our endeavour will be to make our children Champions who will make a brighter future and a better world with their unique, strong and vibrant personalities. The program for children must focus on physical literacy with daily sports, games and yoga, mindfulness and meditation for mental health and a strong emphasis on healthy eating habits. Arts, music, science activities that are developmentally appropriate and based on children’s interest will be part of the curriculum. The program space is divided in to 2 areas by means of shelves and toys so that the kinders, grade 1 and 2 can enjoy their own space with games, toys and activities that are more appropriate to their age. Both sections have different centers that cater to the development and learning of the children. There is a separate reading area to enable children to enjoy reading in peace. Art centers are equipped with different mediums and craft supplies to encourage creativity. Blocks, Manipulatives, Dress-up, Science, Dramatics all centers have been stocked with adequate material for learning and play. Children can enjoy both group and individual activities. The toys and equipment is checked at all times to avoid any injury to staff or children. Staff does roll call and follows up with head count every 15 minutes. Children are never left unsupervised.

The outdoor play space is fenced and has an entry from the daycare itself. The safety of the children is ensured by checking for any broken objects or equipment before each use. The staff has to do head count of children, before, during and at the time of return from the play space. The staff plan games and sports that relate to the programming of the week and it is followed by free play. Children have a variety of sports and activities to choose from. Badminton, Dodge ball, football, hockey are some of the sports available. We also have sand and water play and children are encouraged to explore nature while playing with loose parts and mud kitchens.
