Early Years Daycare
Here at BGC Dieppe, our Early Years Program offers quality programs for children starting from the age of 2 until they head off to school.
Our designated childcare centre operates Monday-Friday from 7:30am until 6:00pm. Throughout the day the children will have various opportunities to engage in play-based learning, develop new skills, and interact with peers their age. Children are provided with 2 healthy snacks daily, one in the morning and one in the afternoon.
Our caring and qualified staff are here to guide your child and prepare them for their next steps in life. Following the NB Early Childhood Curriculum, children are presented with numerous opportunities to engage in child led play in order to develop their learning abilities and skills. We provide our children with a safe and supportive environment where they have the chance to express themselves, explore new ideas and chase their dreams. It is our strong belief that children are entitled to an opportunity to grow and develop under the most favorable conditions and that is what we strive to offer.
