Bayridge Drive and Henderson Child Care Centres offer Early Childhood Education programs focusing on skill development for children ages 18 months to school age. Bayridge celebrated its 10th year of operation in April 2008 and is now licensed for 74 children following the expansion in 2007. Henderson opened in Sept 2009 and is licensed for 34 full day children and 20 school age children (before and after school). It is our vision to provide the highest quality early education programs in a manner that is flexible and compassionate. All of the classroom teachers are Registered Early Childhood Educators. The program is reviewed regularly and updated according to Day Nursery Act Standards, Public Health recommendations, and feedback received from parents and staff. By offering age appropriate experiences in all areas of development, Bayridge Drive and Henderson Child Care Centres strive to meet the needs of individual children, families and the local community. Family preferences and values are considered to be an integral part of planning as well as a critical element in the optimal development of each child.
Bayridge Drive and Henderson Child Care Centres are operated by a private corporation offering quality Early Childhood Education programs.
