The Family Centre Day Care has been established to provide positive early childhood experiences where children can grow physically, emotionally and socially in a family centered and family sensitive setting. Active parental participation is encouraged by teachers who view child care as a positive extension of the home environment.
The Family Centre Childcare provides nurturing early childhood experiences that promote children's social, emotional, and physical growth in a safe environment, guided by play-based and emergent curriculum principles.
Home Child Care offers flexibility in meeting your child care needs. Children within our Home Child Care Program enjoy a warm, nurturing family setting in a small multi-age group environment. The program serves children from infancy to age 12. Our homes are located within the Sarnia-Lambton and Chatham-Kent areas. Lambton Rural Child Care carefully screens, selects and monitors out Home Child Care Providers (HCCP) to ensure that their homes and programming meet the standards of the Day Nurseries Act. Your child would receive nutritious snacks and meals, while enjoying a homelike setting that home child care offers
Adventure Hours Nursery School was established in 1972. Our Philosophy has always remained the same: to provide a positive first step in the ongoing development of the whole child. To offer services to every child regardless of need, whether it be physical, emotional, or otherwise. Adventure Hours Nursery School is largely based on the High/Scope curriculum. High/Scope bases its educational approach on key experiences in a learning environment, which allows the child to learn through play. The teachers job is to provide the child with the opportunities to experience creativity, challenges, and successes, along with restrictions, and frustrations, and to guide the child in dealing with these situations in a socially acceptable manner. In order to do this, the teacher must build a genuine relationship with each child, to build trust, which leads to the development of language, including the child's expressing his thoughts and feelings.

We are an accredited, multi-service agency that responds to the unique dynamics of our families. We support the well being and safety of our children and their families through evidence-based practices and collaboration with community partners.
