Philosophy:

The Nursery offers daily personal care where children and family needs are the utmost concern. The Nursery fosters learning in all areas of development.

With infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, we feel it is extremely important to provide for them additional physical affection, positive voice tones and facial expressions to enhance a feeling of security and well-being. Many tasks with these age groups are childcare oriented, and through daily routines and experiences we take the opportunity to combine learning and child care. We facilitate the "teachable moment" and plan activities to encourage continual progression in all areas.

Well-balanced nutritional snacks and meals for your child are lovingly prepared.

Hildegard-Marsden Cooperative Day Nursery Inc. is fully licensed and inspected under the Ministry of Community, Family and Children's Services and meets the requirements of the Day Nurseries Act, the Ontario Fire Code and the Local Health Department.
