The Mount Brydges Sonshine Day Care is a non-profit centre, licensed under the Day Nurseries Act for the education, care and guidance of children.  Our mission is to develop a caring community where all children can grow in a healthy, safe environment supported by qualified staff members.

Mount Brydges Sonshine Day Care is a nondenominational Christian childcare centre.  It is our philosophy that children grow best in a secure, positive, caring, fun and stimulating environment. Sonshine Day Care uses the emergent curriculum, which is centered around play.  Young children learn through hands-on experience and participation, therefore, we provide opportunities for children to select, explore, and practice various skills through a variety of materials and prepared activities.

Children use play to make sense of the world. What may look like "child's play" to an adult is actually learning in progress. During play, children become motivated and engaged in their chosen activities.  They learn when they are actively involved and interested. Through play, your child will develop problem solving skills and social and communication skills including literacy. Our environment is friendly, interesting and organized.  It is also flexible so that it can accommodate children's interests, experiences and needs.  We do not adhere to one particular doctrine but support a Christian belief that is non-judgmental, fosters goodwill with Christian values and morals. All children are welcome - no one will be discriminated against in regards to their personal beliefs. Our day care encourages the young child's active involvement in the process of learning through diverse learning experiences appropriate to each child's developmental stage, style and preferences.  We encourage children to discover for him/herself through concrete experiences.  We feel that it is important for children to learn problem solving skills rather than "correct answers".  We believe in the development of the whole child; social, emotional, physical, creative and cognitive.  We encourage independence and tolerance, responsibility, and respect for others. We focus on social skills, early literacy skills, listening, expressing ideas as well as gross and fine motor skills.
