Dear parents/guardians,​
Thanks for visiting April Daycare website.
We offer a wide range of lesson plans and hands-on activities based on each child's developmental stage and interest, ensuring each individual child feels comfortable, respected and engaged. Through implementing successful programs, which are children's favourites, such as Mindup and The Random Act of Kindness, educators and children get connected, bond, feel belonged and all make one learning community. 
April Daycare provides a high quality and affordable program. Offering passion, guidance and support, the environment and staff support children's growth and development, socially, artistically, emotionally and physically. Children grasp a good sense of literacy on a daily basis through child-centered happenings such as songs, arts and crafts and various activities.
To accommodate parents schedule, we are proud to offer flexible hours on weekends and holidays upon request​​s for extra charge. 

Gradual Entry for Children Under Three Years Old: Since we believe leaving your young loved one behind is not easy, especially the first time, the one-on-one gradual entry is one of April Daycare's complimentary free package that is offered to the registered children under three years old.

For children older than three years, we plan shorter days and gradually move to the full day.
As entering to child care setting might promote anxiety for some parents and children, gradual entry process is different from child to child and family to family and April daycare goes with parent's desire in this regard. Therefore, we plan the first days together, so children adapt to the new environment successfully.

We work with families to effectively make the child’s transition and (parents') as smooth and happy as possible. As we believe April Daycare is the second home to children, we are committed to provide children one on one interactions, and surround them with various opportunities to feel connected, engaged and heard.

Rates: The rates are approved by the government for childcare fee reduction and the government pays partially some amount of monthly fees ($600/Month for under three years old and $500/Month for 3 yrs to 5yrs).

Letting Children Be

Zahra is such a nice teacher, and caring owner of the daycare. She is very flexible on schedules and will try her best to accommodate with things we ask. The most important thing for us is that my kids love her and the place and they are always happy when coming home or going to daycare in the morning. Will recommend to my friends and family for sure! Thank you Zahra for taking good care of the kids.
