Our Program

At The Walnut House daycare, we believe childhood should be full of wonder, play, and connection. With a small group size, we create deep relationships with children and families, making sure every child feels seen, valued, and supported.

Our program is guided by an Early Childhood Education (ECE) professional and centered around play-based learning because kids learn best when they’re having fun. Studies show that play is actually the most effective way for little ones to build important skills and understand the world around them.

Each day includes a thoughtful mix of open-ended play, creative arts, and plenty of time outside including walks to Lakeside Park when the weather’s nice. We really honor each child’s natural rhythm, balancing active, energetic play with quieter moments to rest and recharge.

We’re a licensed in-home multi-age daycare and proud to participate in BC’s Child Care Fee Reduction Initiative (CCFRI), helping make quality care more affordable for families.
