Cathedral Area Coop Daycare
Cathedral Area Coop Daycare, located at 2051 Cameron Street in Regina, Saskatchewan, is a non-profit, licensed childcare facility committed to providing high-quality early childhood experiences. Our mission is to create a child-centered environment that fosters healthy development and lifelong learning, guided by cooperative values.
At our daycare, we embrace a 'learning through play' philosophy, recognizing that play is the avenue through which children acquire cognitive, language, physical, and social skills. We strive to ensure that each child has numerous positive experiences throughout the day, catering to their unique developmental needs.
We believe in partnering with parents to achieve positive child development and support the family unit. Open and effective communication between staff, children, and parents is essential for maintaining a healthy environment. We value and respect each child, parent, and staff member, fostering an atmosphere of mutual respect, honesty, and compassion.
With a rich history dating back to 1979, the Cathedral Area Coop Daycare has continuously evolved as a parent-controlled, no-profit cooperative daycare center. Over the years, we have garnered recognition for our high-level programming focused on play and exploration, as well as our commitment to diversity education. Our diverse staff and inclusive environment ensure that all families feel welcome and valued.
In addition to our core daycare services, we have expanded our offerings to include a Before & After School Program in partnership with Westminster United Church. This collaboration allows us to provide quality childcare not only to coop members but also to the wider community on school days and professional development/school holidays.
Our curriculum incorporates a multicultural focus to help children develop a sense of global citizenship. Through puppetry, musical instruments from around the world, books reflecting diverse cultures, and field trips to various destinations, we expose children to different lifestyles, languages, and points of view, promoting inclusivity and respect.
We are proud of our natural outdoor playground, designed with input from staff, children, and families. This developmentally appropriate and fun learning environment stimulates children's senses and offers areas for water play, sand play, musical exploration, scientific discovery, art, dramatic play, and quiet reflection.
Music classes are an integral part of our program, allowing children to explore rhythm, melody, movement, and even public speaking skills. Our music teacher tailors the lessons to each child's age and encourages their creativity and self-expression.
Families are invited to participate in various events throughout the year, fostering a sense of community and engagement. We value inclusivity and strive to create a safe space for all families.
Cathedral Area Coop Daycare operates Monday to Friday from 7:00 am to 6:00 pm, providing convenient hours for working parents. Join us in creating a positive and enriching early childhood experience for your child.
