Welcoming Message
Welcome to Oyen Daycare where our vision is to quality child care enhancing the vitality and sustainability of life in our community!
The opening of our facility would not have been possible without the support of the community, Prairie Rose school division and many hours and hard work of our board members.
Child care has proven to be in dire need in Oyen and surrounding areas. We are happy to provide such an important service for our great community. We are currently licensed for 25 children, ages 12 months to 5 years.
Thank you for choosing our program! We are assured that your child will feel as if this is their home away from home as they become acquainted and comfortable with our center. We hope you, the parents, will come and visit, as we encourage an “Open Door Policy” with all families. We cannot wait to meet you and your child(ren)!
Sincerely,
Oyen Daycare
Our Mission
At Oyen Daycare our mission is to work with families to provide quality, affordable childcare in a nurturing atmosphere. Our program will provide the opportunity for children to interact with peers through play experiences in an inclusive environment which allows freedom within set limits. Our caring and qualified staff will strive to provide a safe and developmentally appropriate learning atmosphere, which fosters a child’s natural desire to explore, discover, create and become a lifelong learner.
Philosophy Statement
The Oyen Daycare’s main focus is to create a warm and encouraging environment for children to discover and grow. Each child has their own way of learning, and we are prepared to facilitate the needs, interests and capabilities of each individual child. We believe that children learn through their play experiences, and we are prepared to find the resources and support necessary to ease the process of discovery. Every aspect of a child’s development is included in our program – social, physical, intellectual, cognitive and emotional. We believe that the early years of child care should make each child feel safe to explore the world around them with respect. Nature and the outdoors is an important classroom for children, and we are aware of the prime learning opportunities associated with natural and organic surroundings. At Oyen Daycare, we understand early relationships with the environment, parents, teachers, and other children are vital to their wellbeing, and we are ready to support and assist them into making respectful relationships that they will benefit from, even after leaving the program.
