Parents & Family
Our teachers understand that it is important to keep teacher and parent communication open. We use the Lillio App for daily student updates, progress, and photos to keep you up to date. We welcome your input, ideas, and suggestions at all times.
Nutrition
We know that good nutrition contributes to effective learning in children. We are a nut-free facility to ensure that children with allergies are in a safe environment. We follow the Canadian Food Guide to ensure that we are providing appropriate serving portions and healthy food and drinks for our children. We provided three meals daily with the exception of children who have many dietary restrictions. In this case, parents have the option to provide meals for their child as long as they are labeled and nut-free. We provide breakfast at 8:30 am, lunch at 12 pm, and snacks at 2:30 pm.
School Closure
Statutory Holidays with the exception of a couple of regular days*
Enrolment
Enrolling and/or reserving a future space for your child is simple. Please refer to the top of the page and click on Contact Us. You will then fill out all the required information and an email will be sent directly to us at which time we will respond. After the virtual or in-person visit, the registration process may begin. There are various forms to be completed and others to be read. Once they are read, completed, signed, and the deposit has been paid then your child’s space has been reserved.
Fees
We currently open from 7:00 am to 6:00 p.m. Our part-time program consists of either 2, 3 or 4 days a week or a full-time program Monday to Friday. We are part of the Canada-Wide Early Learning Childcare (CWELCC) program and the rates below are reflective of that.
Toddlers
18 months – 29 months
Preschooler / Casa
30 months to 6 years old
Water Bottle Fee
$ 15 for a water bottle that will be provided for your child on their first day to stay at the centre.
Uniform
We ask that children wear uniforms Monday to Thursday from September until July. The uniforms are generic and can be bought at department stores. We ask that your child wears a navy cardigan or sweater, white polo, navy pants and solid black indoor shoes. Upon registration, examples of uniforms will be sent and any further questions can be answered at that time.
Communication
At Treasured Beginnings Childcare we use Lillio app to communicate with parents/guardians about their children’s day. This app is in real-time and can be downloaded to your phone. Parents/guardians receive notifications on their phone with pictures of activities that their children are working on, what they have eaten, how long they have slept, supplies they are running low on, and so much more. Our educators are hand-picked to ensure that our children’s families are kept up to date about their children’s development and day. Building great connections with our families is what Treasured Beginnings strives on and remains one of our greatest strengths.
Hear from our families!
“We just finished up nearly two years at Treasured Beginnings and couldn’t be happier with the time we spent there. From week 1, we felt trust, love and dedication was being spent on our daughter and we know the care we received is incomparable. It truly didn’t feel like we were sending her to daycare, but rather to spend the day with family. So much so that a lot of tears were shed (on my end!) when we had to say goodbye for now to move into JK in the Fall. We will miss our Treasured Beginnings family but we are so thankful they hold a place in our town! 10/10 would recommend to any parent looking for wonderful care + JK prep in a loving and nurturing environment.”
“We absolutely loved our time at Treasured Beginnings and can’t wait to send our youngest next year. We enrolled our son during a time when he had a lot of new transitions going on and they welcomed him with open arms and hearts. In just a few short weeks, we couldn’t believe how much he was learning. After a full year there, his printing, word recognition, basic math and plenty of other skills (both academic and social) have far surpassed anything we could have imagined. The best part, however, is how much the staff care deeply about every single child there. As well as their families! They recognize that every child is unique and are so attentive and passionate. Leaving this nurturing environment to start JK was definitely hard! So glad we discovered this little gem. Thank you!”
“Both of my sons have attended Treasured Beginnings for the past 3 years and I cannot compliment them enough! They really are like a family. The staff are so attentive and kind, the centre is bright and engaging, the food is yummy/healthy, and they are so safety/health focused. My sons have learned so much and are always excited to share what they did during the day. We absolutely adore the whole group here!”
“Our daughter was with Treasured Beginnings for two amazing years. She absolutely loved it and so did we. She made lots of friends at Treasured Beginnings and even has some with her in JK now. Her speech improved almost immediately, she learned an incredible amount and has continued to advance incredibly now at elementary school. We love our Treasured Beginnings family and recommend to all looking for a great education and trustworthy care giver for their children.
“Lily loved her time at Treasured Beginnings sooo much. Thank you to all the teachers who took care of her, fed her and taught her to read and do math! They really went the extra mile for the kids and I really appreciate it. Special shout out to Mrs. Sajita, Miss Roa and Miss Miarim…lily will miss you all.”
“I have nothing but good things to say about Treasured Beginnings! From their dedication to ensuring wholesome meals for my child who has dietary restrictions to their amazing provision of educational material grounded in the Montessori tradition, this business is top-notch. You, nor your children, will regret any time spent here!”
“Treasured Beginnings has had such a tremendous impact on our son. The staff are so kind, caring and attentive to our son, and his needs. Ms. Roa and her team, always went above and beyond, to ensure strategies were put in place, to give our son a positive, engaging and quality experience. We are so thankful to Treasured Beginnings, and would highly recommend this facility.”
