Welcome to Kaleidoscope Early Learning Center (KELC,) or, as we call it... our Daycare Family.
KELC is a multi-program Early Learning Center offering quality, child focused programs to children aged 0-6 years. We offer Infant-Toddler and Group Childcare, with the ability to extend our programming into the “house,” with an additional Multi-Age Program.
The KELC approach is to focus on developing strong Social-Emotional Skills through Teacher and/or Child led activities. Additionally, we take our inspiration from the teachings of Maria Montessori, and the BC Early Learning Framework.
Each of our Programs run independently, but our goal is to create familiar approaches and scheduling through each age grouping that will allow for a predictable routine as your child moves through each room in their Kaleidoscope adventure.
Group Childcare 0 – 36 months
The IT Program is designed for the specific needs of young children. With a routined, but open schedule children engage in Teacher led activities (art/circle) but spend a large portion of their day engaged in free play, either indoor or outdoors.
Group Childcare 30 months to School age
The Group Care program is intended for children aged 3-5. GCC mornings are Teacher led, PreK style with lots of opportunities to explore individual pursuits.
The Multi Age Program
The Multi Age program is our transition program. This program helps transition children between the infant/toddler program to our 3-5 program.
