NDS provides a safe, caring environment where children can grow, learn and thrive. We believe in offering a rich, developmentally appropriate learning environment that focuses on child-centered activities and play-based learning. The staff creates opportunities for the children to experience, explore and gain an understanding of the world and the people around them. The staff respects a child's individuality and self-respect, lays positive foundations for learning, encourages responsibility and kindness to others and promotes health and safety. We support independence and nurture development. We promote a sense of trust and respect with regard to the children's feelings, skills and choices and have a high regard for the importance of self-esteem and positive self-image. Our philosophy is to design a developmentally appropriate program that stimulates learning for every child in a way that is natural, nurturing and fun. Northshire Day School is an affirming and accepting community.

Regulation/Restriction: 3.2.5: Self-reported violations: If an incident or situation occurs in a CBCCPP while children are present that could be considered a serious violation as defined in the rule 2.2.50 of these regulations, the licensee has a responsibility to self-report this to the Division within twenty-four (24) hours of the incident. A complete report will include a description of the incident, what the licensee has done to verify the particulars of what occurred, and how the licensee has taken corrective action to ensure the safety and well-being of children and to prevent a future serious violation.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
