Daycare in Pickering

My name is Maria and I have over 20 years of experience around children. As a mother of two, ages four and three, I understand the importance of good quality day care. I live in Pickering off of Altona between Finch and Sheppard, within walking distance of Westcreek public school. I am certified in CPR and have an up to date criminal background check. I have always loved working with children from a very young age. Throughout the day we will have lots of play time in and outdoors (weather permitted). Our daily activities will include singing, dancing, arts and crafts, and trips to the nearby park. I will engage the kids to help me prepare meals so they learn the importance of healthy eating.
