We are also encouraging children to work on finger painting, music, and pretend play to spark creativity while also exposing them to structures to help with perceptual motor development. When children leave this classroom they will have a Brighter Beginning to the world around them.

How does drop-in daycare work
- For most drop-in daycare programs, you need to register your child in advance. Then, once you are enrolled, you can 'drop-in' when you need to. You may need to call ahead each day to ensure there is availability or book your spot online. Drop-in daycares are great when your regular childcare falls through or if you just need a few hours of care here and there.
