Infant Program

Our Infant program accommodates 10 children, aged 3 months to 18 months.  Our programs are very popular, so APPLY early.

Our schedule is based on the needs of each individual child.  Children may sleep and eat when they require it throughout the day. 

A typical day in the infant room consists of (although no two days are ever the same!):

Timing Activity
7:30-8:30am Morning arrival and greeting time
8:30-9:15am Snack time - milk is served. Sleep time for those who require a nap
10:00-11:00am Outside time - going for a walk or playing in the yard
11:00-11:30am Sensory or planned programming or circle

Sarah, RECE

Sarah

My name is Sarah and I have been at CCCCG for 13 years in the infant room. I recently had my own little one and now coming back from maternity leave.

I graduated from Sheridan College with my ECE in 2007.

I love watching the children explore their environment through play and develop new skills each day. I look forward to building relationships with the children, parents and staff.

If I’m not running around after my little one I enjoy watching movies and relaxing outside.

 

 

  

 

Zabrina, RECE

zabrinaHello! I’m Zabrina and I am an RECE at CCCCG.

I graduated from Conestoga College in 2019 and started working at the centre in April.

From a very young age I have discovered my love for working with children. I feel very happy and content being part of their lives. I am dedicated to the social and emotional development of every child and I would ensure that they receive all the care and love they deserve. Seeing children doing new things and experiencing their world is truly what I love to observe from them. I enjoy engaging in play, interacting and reading with the children. I also love when they teach me new things they can do! 

 

 

 

Dayani, RECE 

DayaniHello! I am Dayani.

I joined the CCCCG team in 2014 to explore if the ECE field fits me! Completing the ECE Fast Track Program at Conestoga College & graduating with distinction, I returned to CCCCG in 2015, while supplying at several other leading childcare centres in Guelph. I started regular hours in 2018. 

I have been blessed with the opportunity to learn and grow with several age groups at the centre so far, thus opening the door for me to integrate my learning in early childhood education with the wealth of knowledge, skills and experience I have gained interacting with children, families and fellow educators since becoming a school teacher in 1997, serving the field of education in two other countries before Canada.

Children bring me immense joy. At the end of each day, I go home with a heart laden with their priceless gifts for me. I strive my best to bring them joy too, along with love, warmth, and learning.

"It is the supreme art of the teacher to awaken joy in creative expression and knowledge." ~ Albert Einstein
