Welcome to Portland daycare centre!
We believe that what and how a child learns in his/her first five years can greatly affect how the child learns later in life. With this premise in mind we will endeavour to create an environment of warmth and security where your child will feel confident in making choices and decisions.

What Is Emergent Curriculum?
Parents Who Are Not Familiar With These Words Often Ask.
Emergent curriculum is a way of planning curriculum that is based on the children’s interest and passion at a certain point in time. Children thrive and learn best when their interests are captured. Learning occurs naturally. Planning emergent curriculum requires observation, documentation, creative brainstorming, flexibility and patience on the part of the Early Childhood Educator. Rather than starting with the lesson plan which is repeated every year regardless of the age, developmental level or interests of the children, emergent curriculum starts with the children’s interest. In short, it is a child-directed and teacher facilitated approach to planning the curriculum. Play based learning has proven to be most effective. Children learn best when they choose the interest and method of discovery.
Frequently asked questions
How much is tuition?
Tuition is based on the age of the child and duration of your child’s stay. We try to keep our rates as reasonable as possible, while at the same time providing the highest quality care in the city.
We post our FULL TIME rates. Please contact the centre for part time rates and availability.
Can I visit the centre before I book a space?
Absolutely! However, we get so many calls from parents wanting to see the centre, that we can only offer tours of the centre if we have spaces available. Just give us a call and we can set up a time for a member of our team to show you around and answer any questions you may have.
Are the staff qualified?
We are very proud of our highly qualified, experienced team. The majority of our team members have been in the field for over ten years and are very involved in continuing their education and training. Our team members take courses throughout the year from Jane Norman College, Mount Saint Vincent University and others! We also have in-house workshops on various topics that team members feel would help improve their performance in the classroom.
What does my child need to bring to daycare?
Every child should have a change of clothes and clothing appropriate for outdoor activity. If your child requires diapers and wipes they to must be provided. During naptime a special quiet toy from home is permitted.
