Lobat's Place Family Child Care welcomes families to feel that they
are part of our extended families. Today, a child's family may take on
many forms, all of which are of equal importance to the child. I believe
that family child care is a very important extension of you and your
child's family. As your child becomes involved in the daily routines
they will see the connections between home and family child care in a
friendly and supporting way. A flexible daily program will respond to
the needs and interests of the children, individually, and in-group
settings. By encouraging children to learn and develop at their own
level they will gain the confidence of self-importance. Give them
guidance and understanding and they will have the opportunity to explore
their world in a safe and controlled environment.
Children at my centre participate in a variety of individual and group
activities designed to develop language and reading readiness skills as
well as enhancing physical, social, emotional and intellectual growth,
skills and attitudes through play and having fun.

St. James Daycare Centre encourages the emergence of each child's personality through: the experience of a social environment, the discovery of acceptable emotional outlets, the stimulation of thought, image and idea, the physical development of large and small muscles, and the development of empathy towards others. To help achieve these goals, we encourage self-expression by providing ample materials, mobility and opportunity to develop the "art" of communication in each child. Our aim is to instill sensitivity, empathy, independence, awareness, curiosity, learning skills and self-confidence in the children. St. James Daycare is licensed for 25 children aged 3 -5 years.
