Our Philosophy
We believe that laying a strong foundation in the early formative years of life sets the stage for a lifetime of learning. Therefore, we exist to provide children with stimulating learning opportunities that encourage curiosity, discovery, and a love for learning in a safe and loving environment.
At Leslie Street Daycare, we exist to:
- Enhance each child’s cognitive, social, emotional, and physical development.
- Provide a nurturing environment that promotes each child’s self esteem and positive self-image.
- Assist each child in recognizing their own uniqueness and importance.
- Teach children to respect themselves and each other.
- Equip children with the skills and knowledge necessary for success in future learning.
