Marta’s Daycare Program: A Play-Based, Multilingual Learning Experience
Our daycare program in Toronto’s High Park neighborhood is designed to help children reach developmental milestones through play, hands-on learning, and outdoor exploration.
Although we follow all applicable Ministry regulations, this childcare program is not licensed by the Government of Ontario and does not participate in the subsidy program. It operates independently of Jardin Infantil Academy.
A Child-Led Approach to Learning
We believe that children learn best through play and exploration. By getting to know each child’s interests, we create programs filled with engaging, hands-on activities that encourage natural, effortless learning.
Multilingual Exposure
Research shows that early language exposure supports lifelong learning. That’s why we incorporate an introduction to French and Spanish, activating young minds and fostering a love for languages.
Outdoor Adventures in Every Season
Your child will experience the joy of nature year-round, from:
- Building snowmen in winter
- Jumping in puddles in spring
- Cooling off at the splash pad in summer
- Raking and playing in fall leaves
Other daily activities include:
Picnic
Camping
Gardening
Hiking & Yoga
A Winter Day at Marta’s Daycare Program
Every day is an adventure filled with learning, creativity, and outdoor exploration. Here’s a glimpse into a winter day at Marta’s Daycare:
Morning in High Park
- We started our day with circle time, learning that “Q” is for Quiet and discussing important moments to use our quiet voices.
- We explored the triangle shape, making it with our hands and sticks in the snow, and counted its sides.
- We practiced numbers by counting logs up to 14, our number of the week—our counting skills are getting stronger!
- We had fun pretending to ride trains, rolling in the snow, climbing logs, and balancing along fallen branches.
Indoor Time & Afternoon Activities
- Before lunch and naps, we enjoyed playing with musical toys and reading “Animal Friends.”
- In the afternoon, we returned outside to create ice jewels using food coloring and water.
- We named the primary colors in English, Spanish, and French before mixing them to create new colors—purple, green, and orange!
- We left our colored water outside to freeze, excited to find our beautiful frozen jewels tomorrow morning.
A Summer Day at Marta’s Daycare Program
Each day is filled with exploration, learning, and outdoor fun. Here’s a look at a summer day at Marta’s Daycare:
Morning Exploration at the Frog Pond
We started the day with a walk to the frog pond, where we spotted frogs and ducks, explored rocks, and learned about different berries growing nearby.
Midday Picnic & Learning Time
- By 11 a.m., we returned to our picnic site for a bathroom and diaper change break before setting up for lunch.
- After eating, we set up our tents and gathered for our lesson. We:
- Sang the ABCs and counted to 20
- Focused on the letter R, the number 2, and the diamond shape, which we practiced making with our hands
- After a full morning of activity, everyone was ready for nap time under the tents.
Afternoon Adventures & Water Fun
- After waking up at 3 p.m., we had a snack and headed to the Nature Centre for:
- Digging in the dirt
- Climbing on logs and pretending they were rocket ships
- To cool off from the summer heat, we ended the day at the splash pad, splashing and playing together before heading home.
