Play. Grow. Learn

Our Approach

At Waterview we offer play-based and emergent curriculum. Learning through play allows children to be creative, while stimulating their physical, social/emotional and cognitive development. An integral component of learning is when children are able to use imagination and make connections through their experiences. Children are provided with daily opportunities to make their own discoveries through various activities.

History

We were first established as Gordon Street Children's Cottage Child Care Centre located on the grounds of Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences Centre in April 1988. Due to Government cutbacks, we had to relocate and with a lot of hard work and dedication, the staff, parents, and community volunteers constructed a new centre, which opened on March 3 1997 under the name, Waterview Child Care Centre. We take pride in continuing to be able to offer the best quality childcare for over 80 families in Durham Region.

"Waterview was the perfect place for our daughter to attend! The staff were always welcoming and make the children feel at home. They were a big part in her transition to school. I was amazed with the things she learned over her time spend at Waterview."

Waterview holds a special place in my heart. My Daughter came so far with her speech, socialization, and absorbed so much preparing her for kindergarten. The staff were always so accommodating and quick to resolve any issues or concerns. My mommy intuition always felt confident in the care Waterview provided my child. I recommend this centre to everyone!"

This wonderful daycare is the best facility in my opinion. Most of all it's amazing staff that make it happen. They take pride in the work they do to ensure our child is safe and healthy. The staff take the time and effort to guide, develop and teach our child that anything is possible, and to be a good, kind person in the most important stages of growing up. I'm very honored and privileged that Waterview Child Care Centre is there for our little one. Thank you.

Great daycare! Wonderful, caring staff and management. Flexible with great communication.
My son has attended here since he was 1 year old. He has gone through the infant, toddler, and preschool rooms and the staff have been great in all. They always play games, have 'dance parties', and make artwork. My son loves his teachers and often refers to them as his 'friends. I am very happy to have found this place. Thank you Waterview staff!
