PJ's Home Daycare, who we are and what we do.


We provide a safe and nurturing environment for your child(ren) in both official languages.

Through interactive play we will (parents, child, and myself) develop social as well as cognitive skills within your child’s age group.

Our ultimate goal is to better prepare your child(ren) for school both socially and academically.

  • Interacting: doing puzzles together, puppets, dress up
  • Solving Conflicts, sharing/not sharing
  • Learning about authority: parent vs. child, teacher vs. child, caregiver vs. child
  • Learning to be autonomous: zipping up their coats, putting their shoes on, going to wash their hands before eating
  • Respect for others

Academic

    occasions
