Springbank Cottage Childcare Ltd. was established in 1994 to address the growing need for licensed, quality childcare in our community. Located beside local schools, we provide comfortable, safe transitions between home, our program, and the school experience. Our goal is to offer an inclusive program, sensitive to the unique concerns and requirements of families in our semi-rural community, based on high standards of excellence.

Our Philosophy

Springbank Cottage Childcare Ltd provides a safe, nurturing environment in a setting, which has historically been a hub of activity for the children within our community.

Our goal is to provide a program of activities, which will enhance development of the whole child, through PLAY. Certified, committed caregivers offer opportunities to create, explore, problem solve, enjoy the outdoors, interact socially, and become part of a caring community of friends. To Children at play are encouraged to make choices as they would in a healthy home environment.

Caregivers assist in making smooth transitions between home , school and the program throughout the day, escorting children to and from school as required. Our caregivers support and respond to children’s individual needs, serving as positive role models.

We believe that caregivers and parents are partners in each child`s care and development. We enjoy and appreciate the interest and involvement of parents in our experiences at the Cottage.

About Our Facility

We have recently moved to a new location at 16 Commercial drive, across the road from Calaway park. Our facility offers care for children ages 3-12, with a large outdoor field and spacious rooms for children’s learning and exploring. On the main level we have a large bright and open space for our children aged 3-not yet in Kindergarten. Located next to the Daycare room, we have an indoor large motor space, for children to run, play games, and release energy, when the weather do not permit for us to use our outdoor space. Upstairs, we have over 5000 square feet for our Before and After school children. This space offers an art area, open space with several tables for children to explore or create, 3 smaller rooms dedicated to dress-up, reading room, and a games room.

Parents and Caregivers are a Team!

LET’S COMMUNICATE! A successful relationship between parents and caregivers depends on communication. Sharing expectations and concerns ensures a positive experience for your child. From time to time we will assess your child’s progress and present you with our findings regarding our Daycare Room and ECS Room children.
