Welcome to Little Bear Dayhome Agency located at 1104 2 Ave S, Lethbridge, AB. We are a licensed family childcare agency approved by the government of Alberta, serving Lethbridge and the surrounding area.

At Little Bear Dayhome Agency, we understand the importance of providing convenient, functional, and flexible childcare services for families. We carefully recruit, approve, and contract family day home educators who meet the standards set by the ministry and accreditation bodies. We act as a liaison between parents and educators, matching them based on individual needs and preferences. Our goal is to provide excellent support to educators, ensuring they can implement quality care programs and provide excellent care to children.

We believe that children learn best through play, and their needs always come first. We create quality programs that incorporate structured activities as well as open activities, allowing children to make choices based on their interests, needs, and abilities.

We value the partnership between children, parents, educators, volunteers, government, and service providers, and believe in developing effective and sustainable programs through community development. We embrace diversity and celebrate cultural and religious differences, welcoming children from all backgrounds.

Our educators, along with external educational supports, serve as role models for children. They assist with conflict resolution, behavior modification, and the development of life skills. We prioritize prevention by creating stimulating environments and providing trained providers to guide children positively.

Our philosophy is that children and families thrive in supportive environments that foster physical, social, emotional, creative, and intellectual growth. We offer an Early Childhood Education Program that follows a constructivist learning philosophy, where children learn through hands-on experiences based on their interests and abilities. The program aims to nurture new skills, support healthy development, and promote learning in all areas.

Program planning is an integral part of our approach. Educators receive information and resources to assist them in creating meaningful plans, including monthly curriculum planning sheets and child interest sheets. We encourage observations and record-keeping to document children's activities, interests, and learning. Learning/play centers are set up during operating hours, and physical activity is prioritized, with a minimum of sixty minutes provided daily.

We invite you to explore Little Bear Dayhome Agency further and learn more about our services. We are committed to providing a supportive and enriching environment where children can thrive and families can have peace of mind.
