Hi my name is Mrs. Laurie and I am an energetic, fun-loving qualified Early Childhood Educator who is offering child care in my Christian home. I have a bright, child-friendly, well equipped day care room with a walk out to our fenced backyard. I enjoy taking my little friends to our private park daily and occasional community outings.
I have my C.P.R. & First Aid as well as a Criminal Check. All children are welcome; the school I service is Father Joseph Venini Catholic School on Glovers Rd. I am able to accommodate the schedule of professionals working in the educational field. Income tax receipts are given yearly.
The Learning Playhouse follows the Day Nurseries Act regulated by the Ministry of Community & Social Services of 5 children under the age of 10 years not inluding my own children.
For more information please feel free to call me, Mrs. Laurie at 905-721-9588. Enjoy my website but please keep in mind that the website is not my main focus, your children are.
Our Motto is...Playing, Laughing, Learning Together!!

Room for more friends!

I have brought my personal and professional lives together, providing a loving and fun home day care so that I can run my own program and make sure the children always come first. I have set up the lower part of my home like a day care center so my little friends really feel like it is their own classroom. Our day care room has a walk out to our own fenced in backyard and just on the other side of our fence is our private park! We enjoy circle time, arts & crafts, fine motor & gross motor activities, music, dress up and of course free play so we can use our imaginations and just be a kid; even Mrs. Laurie!

I am able to accommodate the schedule of professionals working in the educational field.

All ages are welcomed; yes even babies! To find out more about our cozy little day care family call Mrs. Laurie today for current rates, answer any questions you have and to set up a tour of our classroom. The Learning Playhouse motto is… Playing, laughing and learning together!

Your child will also have the opportunity to gain practice in language skills, math skills, fine motor, gross motor and self-help skills in a fun and positive manner.

Each child will receive weekly themes, crafts, story time, play time both inside and outside, special events and lots of Tender Loving Care. For the parents; you will receive daily reports for infants and toddlers, parent newsletters, parent meetings, Parent Date Night (dates to be decided by Mrs. Laurie), income tax receipts, support from your day care teacher and the comfort knowing your child is loved.

I am a qualified Early Childhood Educator with experience being an Assistant, E.C.E. teacher, and Supervisor in the day care field. I opened The Learning Playhouse in 1996 to allow me to stay home with my children and still be active in the profession I loves.

I am actively involved with my community as the Sunday School Co-orinator at my church as well as in the past a leader with Girl Guides of Canada.

I have my C.P.R. and First Aid certificate, Criminal Check, Wee Hands Sign Language Certificate and great references both professionally and personally.

I have a great sense of humour (as you can tell by my Bunny costume picture) and I have a lot of patience with my little day care friends.
