Know More About Us

Mission

Our mission is to provide childcare that is flexible to the needs of busy working families and catered to the child’s needs as decided by parents who know their child best.

Vision

The vision we have for our childcare is two fold and rooted in both the present and the future. For the present, our goal is for parents to feel good about their childcare choice, knowing that their childcare are safe, engaged, educated, and smiling. And, for the future, we want these children to look back at their experience with us and see it as a cherished part of their childhood.

Philosophy

It is important that children feel that they are a welcome part of not only their own family unit, but also their extended families such as friends, school, daycare, church, ect. Today, a child’s family may take on many forms, all of which are of equal importance to the child.

I believe that family childcare is an important extension of you and your child’s family. As your child becomes involved in the daily routines, they will see the connections between home and family childcare in a friend.
We believe in :
Providing a healthy, safe, and stimulating environment for all children
All staff have respect and understanding for each child’s individual uniqueness. Providing a strong foundation for lifelong  learning, positive behavior and good health
Being knowledgeable in child development in order to provide appropriate learning experiences for all children. Believing that all children are capable of exploring their surroundings and learning new things when they are interested and when guided by a committed and engaged teacher that offers interesting and relevant activities. Promoting socialization and compassion for others Providing support through professional resources outside the childcare in order to meet specific individual needs We offer childcare 7 days a week for working families. Drop in care is provided if space is available Monday- Friday with a max of 4 hours  We are an equal opportunity provider. Supporting partnerships and collaboration with families and communities to help strengthen the ability for us to meet the needs of the children we serve   

Our beliefs shape the heart of Laughing Tots

Laughter is Essential

Laughter isn't just a sound; it's a balm for the soul. We celebrate the joy that children bring into our lives and encourage them to relish their childhood to the fullest.

Every Child is Special

We hold the firm belief that every child is unique and deserves unwavering respect and affection, just like their peers.

A Sanctuary for Childhood

Childhood is a precious time, and we champion the right for every child to be just that – a child. Play, exploration, and imagination are cornerstones of our approach.

Play Fuels Growth

We understand that play isn't just fun; it's a vital component of physical development, social skills, and cognitive advancement.

Empowerment through Literacy

Literacy is the gateway to a child's educational success, and we're committed to fostering a love for learning through stories and words.

Parental Well-being Matters

We recognize the importance of parental mental health. A break is essential for parents to recharge and nurture themselves.
