Daycare Programs

Learn n’ Play, or LnP, offers quality, group daycare programs in the lower mainland. We have a variety of child day care services including infant, toddler and children ages 3-5, With trained, experienced educators in a unique, fully secure, holistic and educational setting, Learn n’ Play balances care, learning, health and nutrition.

Learn n’ Play Philosophy 

Learn n’ Play day care services use a child focused, educational approach that values and nurtures the child: the physical, social, emotional and cognitive (attention span, memory, reasoning, learning, etc.). A child learns independently or in a group, with structured or unstructured play and activities, in our unique, daycare programs. 

Learn n' Play child care offers more than traditional daycare. Here are some of the programs we have to offer your toddler: 

• Sign language for early communication skills and development of language
• Music and movement program for physical, language and social development
• Introduction to reading, writing, math and science for academic preparation
• Yoga for physical care, development and self-regulation
• Fine arts program to encourage imagination, creative thinking and problem solving
• Cooking program to teach children about nutrition and well being
• Healthy, hot meals
• Toilet training in conjunction with home training
• Montessori practical life and sensorial programs

Every child at Learn n' Play daycare is given the opportunity to explore and learn in their own way and at their own rate. A comprehensive, quality start to education can instill in a child a life-long love of learning, positive self-esteem and higher social, emotional, verbal and intellectual development.

Research shows that when a child begins their education in quality, early learning, daycare programs, they do better in school, are more developed socially and emotionally, and display higher verbal and intellectual skills than a child that was not enrolled in quality, educational daycare programs.

The child, parents and educators are all parts of the harmonious community and services we have created. Every child is special, and we strive to give each one the care, attention and encouragement they need to reach their full potential in all areas of their life as they move on from our unique day care services.

Learn n' Play Childcare has a distinctive, holistic approach to daycare with a combination of nurturing, learning, physical fitness and nutrition. Through the use of several learning methods, including Montessori, Waldorf and Reggio Emilia, Learn n' Play daycare gives your baby a foundation that will lead to a lasting love of learning.

Infant/Toddlers

At Learn n' Play we teach baby sign language to ease the frustrations of baby, and caring adults, by giving the pre-verbal child basic communication skills for things like food, water or favorite items. Often a baby who signs will learn to speak earlier than one who doesn’t and baby signing can also help to develop reasoning skills and self-esteem.

Investing in your child during their early years is crucial as it lays the foundation for their potential health, happiness, growth, development, learning accomplishments, family relationships, and community ties. This period has a significant impact on the adult they will become, and nurturing them during this time is key to building their confidence and trust.

• Letter recognition and beginning sounds
• Fine motor skills: pincer grip, cutting with scissors
• Reading Readiness – left to right, top to bottom, etc.

Parent-teacher meetings and individual progress reports are implemented to detail the expectations of the child’s age level and to keep parents up to date on the progress their child has made throughout the course of Learn n' Play’s program.

At Learn n' Play, play based learning appeals to the child’s innate curiosity and need to participate in activities based on their interests and developing skills. Besides being fun, it supports the child learning about their self and the world around them.
