Sunshine Childcare
Offers warm and secure environment that provides child centered and holistic play-based learning opportunities for children in their early stages of life. Rooted in the Alberta Flight Curriculum our approach is shaped by a deep respect for children as mighty learners and citizen, capable of exploring, discovering, and contributing to their world.
What makes us different?
We prioritize establishing a meaningful, interconnected relationships in an inclusive environment—fostering deep connections with children, engaging collaboratively with parents, and building a strong sense of community within and beyond our center.
What we offer?
Time: for play, for inquiry, for thinking, and for pursuing an interest alone or with friends and educators is important if learning is to become meaningful for the learner.
Space: for play, for alone time, for social play with others, and for focused opportunities to pursue an interest are important for children as learners and as citizens.
Materials: open up possibilities for young children’s care, play, and learning.
Participation: of educators, children, and families is central to a practice of relationships and is revealed through the early childhood environment.

We offer two snacks and lunch each day as part of our comprehensive program, with no additional cost.
Morning snack at 9 am, lunch at 11:45am, and an afternoon snack at 3pm
All of our food is freshly cooked on-site in our kitchen, ensuring that each meal is prepared with care, and quality ingredients. Our kitchen staff adheres to strict health and safety standards guided by AHS, ensuring that food is not only delicious but also safe and hygienic for the children to enjoy. We follow the Canada`s Food Guide (https://food-guide.canada.ca/en/) to prepare our meals, ensuring that each dish is nutritionally balanced and aligned with the recommended dietary guidelines.
The role of an educator as a co-learner, co-researcher, and co-imaginer is both transformative and dynamic, requiring an approach that embraces a playful and inquisitive spirit. Educators in this capacity are active participants in the learning journey, engaging alongside children as they explore, question, and create. This role demands a willingness to persist through challenges, fostering an environment where curiosity thrives, and where educators model the joy of discovery and problem-solving. As co-imaginers of possibilities, educators encourage innovative thinking and creative exploration, inviting children to envision new ways of seeing and interacting with the world. Through collaboration, educators and children co-create knowledge, invent new ideas, and push the boundaries of conventional learning, shaping a space that celebrates creativity, inquiry, and the joy of shared discovery. We prioritize hiring highly qualified staff who are dedicated to fostering each child's development and guiding them toward reaching their fullest potential.

Philosophy
Embracing each child as a competent, curious learner and an engaged citizen, fostering an inclusive, stimulating, and play-driven environment that nurtures holistic development, confidence, and a profound sense of belonging is the priority.
Through child centered and play-based experiences, we cultivate critical thinking, problem-solving, communication, and interpersonal skills, empowering children to explore their world with confidence and curiosity. We create a diverse environment where every child is valued, represented, and celebrated of their uniqueness and as of others.
Families actively contribute to foster holistic and supportive environment. Their involvement supports a collaborative partnership and strengthens the continuity between home and childcare settings, ensuring a well-rounded and cohesive approach to growth.”
