Benefits of Childcare for Child Development

Our programs provide a nurturing environment for children to thrive. As a premier daycare facility, we understand the crucial role that quality childcare plays in the overall development of a child. The benefits of daycare extend far beyond merely offering a safe space for children while their parents are at work; they significantly contribute to a child's holistic growth and well-being.

 

Daycare fosters social and emotional development in children. Regular interaction with peers in a childcare setting helps them learn how to share, communicate, collaborate, and self-regulate. These early experiences are the foundation for building strong interpersonal relationships and self-confidence in the future. A & D Child Care Centre and The Meadows Early Learning recognize the importance of a supportive social environment in shaping a child's character.

 

Our daycare programs in Sherwood Park and Edmonton also focus on cognitive development. Engaging activities, educational games, and age-appropriate challenges stimulate a child's intellectual curiosity. Our experienced educators are dedicated to creating an enriching learning environment where children can explore, discover, and develop essential cognitive skills to serve them well academically.

 

Physical development is also a key aspect. Our indoor facilities and outdoor play areas encourage children to engage in various physical activities. Daily opportunities for gross motor activities promote a healthy lifestyle and enhance motor skills and coordination. We believe in providing a balanced approach to child development, ensuring that both physical and mental aspects are nurtured.

 

A & D Child Care Centre in Sherwood Park and The Meadows Early Learning in Edmonton go beyond being a daycare; we partner with you and work together in your child's developmental journey, from social and cognitive development to physical and emotional well-being. Enroll your child today!

Preparing for Kindergarten: The Role of Childcare

Transitioning to kindergarten is a pivotal milestone, and our childcare programs are designed to equip children with the skills they need to thrive. Here’s how our centres prepare your child for this exciting new chapter:

 

  1. Building Classroom Readiness
    Kindergarten readiness is about more than academic skills—it encompasses social, emotional, and cognitive development. Our programs emphasize teamwork, self-expression, and adaptability, creating a solid foundation for success in structured classroom settings.
     

  2. Hands-On Learning
    We introduce literacy, numeracy, and problem-solving in fun, engaging ways. Activities like storytelling, counting games, and creative projects encourage imagination while helping children master basic skills without pressure.
     

  3. Encouraging Lifelong Learning
    By creating a positive, enriching environment, we help children develop a love for discovery and exploration. At A&D Child Care Centre and The Meadows Early Learning, our play-based approach nurtures the skills your child needs for kindergarten and beyond. We aim to create confident, capable, and enthusiastic learners who are ready to embrace the challenges of formal education.

Absolutely Fantastic

 

“My son has been attending A & D for about two years now and we are very happy with A & D. So much so that we wouldn’t send him anywheres else. He loves both his daycare room and preschool. They offer additional courses like yoga and music class. My son comes home full of

stories and absolutely loves the workers. To say we are happy would be an understatement. Absolutely fantastic care!”
