All children will be given first hand experiences to actively explore and learn from. All routines and activities will be based on each individual child's interests, abilities and needs. Giant Steps Children's Centre provides a safe and stimulating environment where children learn through play.



A balanced, developmentally appropriate and challenging program focusing on the areas of physical, intellectual, creative, social and emotional growth will be available for every child's participation daily.



Each child will be involved in indoor and outdoor activities every day (weather permitting). At Giant Steps the playground is seen as an extension of the indoor classroom and is not only for the purpose of releasing physical energy.

Nutrition
Snacks and meals at Giant Steps are largely homemade and prepared on site in our kitchen by our Centre Cook. All snacks offer at least two food groups and age appropriate serving sizes for all Classes. Our meals are prepared daily and consist of all four-food groups and provide 1/3 of a child daily-recommended amount of calories and nutrients. The Public Health Nutritionist has approved our menu as healthy, varied and enjoyable for children. We support families will cultural or religious diet restrictions. Families are permitted to bring in alternatives to our menu and whenever possible the alternative should be a like snack or meal. Daily alternatives such as lactose-free milk may be labeled with the child's name and left in the Centre fridge. Children with food allergies will have their picture, allergies and medications required posted on the Kitchen bulletin board for the cook and staff.
