Children learn through interaction, play, and socializing. First and foremost, we recognize that kids should be allowed to be kids: guided by an adult who is nurturing, giving, and caring, a child will flourish in a positive, clean, and friendly environment. At Kidz Junction we believe that every child deserves to be happy and satisfied with their childcare situation. Children should learn, laugh, play, and discover a truly fulfilling day, every day. We provide plenty of opportunities for crafts, games, songs, storytelling, and much more.
The purpose of this program is to nurture your child’s essential needs. Most importantly, infants will receive nurturing in a safe, healthy, and loving environment. They will be supervised during a thorough regimen of body care, feeding, resting, and sleeping. The development of their social skills will be encouraged through playful learning experiences. Infants will explore their creativity and imagination through play, both with toys and with peers.
In the infant room, children have the opportunity to explore and learn in a safe, stimulating setting. Weekly activities are tailored to your child’s interests to support independence and early development. Bottle feeding and solid foods are provided. Each child has their own crib or mat for multiple rest periods. Staff members change diapers regularly, maintain cleanliness, and closely monitor all infants. Programs like ours are part of a wider range of childcare programs in Edmonton designed to support working families with reliable infant care.
This program eases the transition from home to preschool. Toddlers begin learning routines and social skills through engaging activities. They’re encouraged to express creativity through visual arts, music, and play.
The toddler room is designed with safety and independence in mind. Weekly plans reflect individual interests, fostering curiosity and confidence. Child-sized furniture helps toddlers build self-help skills like eating independently. Breakfast and hot lunch are provided daily. Each child is assigned a cot for nap time. Staff members gently guide toddlers through the basics of dressing, eating, and hygiene. These foundational steps mirror the approach seen in quality daycare programs in Leduc, where children begin their structured learning journey.
Because communication becomes more important at this age, children will be encouraged to develop language skills through songs, stories, and games. This will help expand their vocabulary and expressive language. “Circle time” will be interactive and will encourage child participation. The child will enjoy sensory exploration and discrimination through sand and water play. Age-appropriate educational toys will teach your toddler various concepts such as colours, shapes, numbers, and sizes. Toddlers will also have an outdoor playground with age-appropriate play structure (slides, ropes, stairs, etc), riding toys (bicycles and cars), balls, and a sand box.
