BGC Okanagan – Lake Country
Ages 0-5 Programs
Infant-Toddler Daycare
We provide children under the age of 3, with a safe environment designed specifically for babies and toddlers. We believe that children learn best by exploring the world, and interacting with adults and peers. We focus on the unique learning abilities of babies and toddlers and our educators plan appropriate activities ensuring lots of exploration. Creative exploration and interaction help to promote social and emotional development, language, cognitive, gross and fine motor skills.
Infant Toddler Daycare & Location Details
Infant Toddler Daycare
Our program offers quiet and active play both inside and outdoors. We pair each child a primary caregiver to promote the caring one on one relationship that helps babies thrive. Our Educators learn to respond to child’s unique temperament, needs and interests by being the one who almost always diapers, feeds, puts them to sleep and communicates with family. We follow daily routines to bond with babies, and provide cognitive stimulation through conversation, interaction and responsive relationships. Our dedicated Early Childhood Educators connect each family’s unique diverse strength, and maintain relationships based on mutual trust, openness and respect. Communication is vital and we encourage two-way dialogue between parents and educators. To support quality in our programs we invest in our educators and provide professional learning opportunities and encourage reflective practice.

After school programs emphasize a sense of belonging, help make positive choices, learn healthy behaviours and build on a child’s strengths encouraging them to reach their potential.
