High Five – Principles of Healthy Child Development
High Five is a quality standard for children’s sport and recreation founded by Parks and Recreation Ontario. The training ensures leaders, coaches and instructors have the tools and knowledge to nurture a child’s mental health and create positive experiences.
Kingston Day Care hosted an all day “HIGH FIVE – Principles of Healthy Child Development” training session for Kingston Day Care employees. This training helped to provide our staff with expertise and tools on how to design activity plans that enhance the development and success of children; use practice tips and skills that can be applied to build healthy relationships in all areas of programming for children; recognize choices that can impact environments and spaces that foster healthy child development and acknowledge the crucial role of front line leaders in the healthy development of children.
Kingston Day Care’s school age programs have been greatly enhanced by the incorporation of the HIGH FIVE - Principles of Healthy Child Development; this unique feature has proven to be a great asset for the children enrolled in these programs.

Creative Learning Environments
Kingston Day Care strongly acknowledges the importance of offering structured early learning opportunities that support and enhance your child's school readiness. School Readiness refers to a child's ability to cope with the challenges associated with entry to formal schooling, and in turn, benefit from academic and social opportunities that school can provide. The domains of School Readiness are physical health and well being, social knowledge and competence, emotional health, language and cognitive development, communication and general knowledge.
The ability to measure the level of excellence in our preschool programs will involve the use of the “Preschool/Kindergarten Program development Instrument (PKDI)”. We support the belief that the benefits of peer related experiences are essential for positive growth and development and we strive to be progressive in reviewing and modifying our educational and programming strategies to best meet the needs of all children at our centres.
It is our responsibility to ensure that the service we provide reflects developmentally appropriate activities that enhance the total development of each child. Kingston Day Care's Early Learning Program supports the “Early Learning for Every Child Today” government framework for Ontario Early Childhood settings, with a strong focus on phonics, early literacy, co-operative learning and the development of each child's overall independence.

“Trillium Child Care Centre was a heart-warming experience for our family. Our children loved to go to daycare and this helped us as parents feel at ease leaving them for the day. The teachers are fantastic and the programs were always creative and interesting. Our children will have fond memories of the fun and friends that they made during their time at Trillium Child Care Centre.
