Provindence Daycare Centre

General information

Providence Daycare Centre is a licensed quality childcare located at 451 Woodmount Drive Oshawa, Ontario. We offer programs for toddlers and preschoolers.

We offer programs for children ranging from ages 15 months to 5 years. We provide opportunities for indoor and outdoor activities:

Toddlers - from ages 15 months to 2 1/2 years of age.
Our Teacher Child ratio is 1:5. At this age, children are busy learning how to crawl, stand and eventually run and they require stimulation to help them learn. We provide age appropriate stimulation through music, educational toys, story time, gross and find motor skills, outdoor play and a very cheerful and spacious room to help our toddlers explore. Nap time also help them to be more energized to explore more possibilities. We provide parents of toddlers with a daily record of their child's day. This will include any milestones achieved, activities they participated in, as well as a record of food eaten and diaper changes.

Preschoolers - from ages 2 1/2 years to 5 years.
Our Teacher Child ratio is 1:8. At this stage, children are learning to be more independent and to develop social skills. Children who feel secure and appreciated in their surroundings gain confidence. Our preschoolers learn school readiness skills to help them transition well into school. We provide them with the perfect developmental toys, games, books and activities to occupy their curious, eager and energetic minds in the areas of science, math, language, sensory, creative arts, dramatic play, music as well as in developing gross and fine motor skills.
The main emphasis of our program is:
o To provide the children with a rich, interesting learning environment which they can explore with all their senses.
o To encourage the development of positive social skills.
o To encourage the children's feelings of competence by giving them opportunities to experiment, problem solve and enhance their abilities.
o To develop the children's self-esteem by ensuring that they feel valued and cared for as individuals.
o To foster a sense of autonomy by ensuring flexibility and choice.

All the Childcare weekly programs are posted in each room.
