Bumble Bear Daycare Waitlist is Open

Kits House will be opening a new Daycare as part of the re-developed Neighbourhood House with 2 spots for children

30-36 months & 23 spots for children 36 month- 5 years.

Bumblebear Daycare creates a community of learning, where community development work meets early childhood education. We embrace the process of learning, encouraging our teachers to be present, listening and growing alongside our children. We support the interests of the children. The materials offered to the children are rich with creative possibilities. Highly qualified staff ensure a Reggio Emelia[1] inspired approach to learning through their delight in children, an understanding of the value of play, their vision, heart, knowledge, skills, and a strong commitment to families. We encourage our learners to think creatively, to innovate, while experiencing the world through compassionate eyes. Anticipated Start: October 2014 with gradual entry.

Waitlist: We are opening the waitlist on Monday February 24th, 2014. Please visit the Kits House offices at 3683 West 4th Ave (at Alma) 2nd floor.
