The Learning Corner Daycare is a fully licensed childcare facility. We are located in west Maple Ridge, next to Westview Park. We offer all the amenities of a large scale center in a small group environment. Our bright, cheerful, child centered environment offer children a safe and fun place to grow and learn. The classroom is divided into various "learning centers" to provide the maximum educational experience. The program is designed to meet the developmental needs of all children who attend. We offer a wide curriculum of activities from phonics, math and science, to art, music and movement and computer activities. Specially made educational games for phonics, math and science enhance the program to engage the child's interest and build a love of learning.
KIDS ZONE, is a smoke free, multi-service childcare. Our staff are ECE trained and have over 20 yrs experience. All members have their CPR/First aid, are criminal record checked and attend annual ongoing training. Our mission is to create a classroom that allows a child to feel they belong. A class where they will own the room and take pride in their accomplishments, motivating them to learn. We use an interactive approach where children can learn within small groups. We feel this is the best way to provide developmentally appropriate curriculum. Throughout the day children work in small groups, in individual settings, and with the rest of the class in supervised activities. We feel your child will benefit from both structured and child initiated learning.
