Ages and Stages

Infant

Our infant program starts as early as six weeks of age and spans until approximately 18 months. We have a 2:1 child to staff ratio, ensuring your baby is in a safe, accommodating and nurturing environment and have the individualized attention they need to learn and grow. At Little Tots’ Manor, we recognize that each infant is unique. We accommodate all dietary needs and restrictions, provide comfy cribs for naps and provide high quality strollers for daily neighbourhood walks.

Toddler

The toddler program at Little Tots’ Manor engages learners from 18 months to 30 months of age. Toddler classrooms maintain an optimal 5:1 child to staff ratio, ensuring each child receives individualized attention and the opportunity to learn in both 1-1 and small group settings.

Preschool

Our preschool program caters to the needs of children from 30 months – 3 years. Preschool classrooms maintain an 8:1 child to staff ratio, ensuring children receive individualized attention and are supported in their early development in preparation for our Kindergarten program.

Kindergarten

Our Kindergarten program is available for children between the ages of 3-6 years of age. At Little Tots’ Manor, the main focus of the kindergarten curriculum is to build a broad base of social and academic skills to best prepare children for entrance into elementary school. A staff to child ratio of 1:8 is maintained in order for the children to focus on their academic performance before entering grade one. Children participate in enriched learning programs supplementary to their daily routines and develop strong connections with their peers and community.
