Toddlers
What to Prepare for Your Toddler’s First Day
On your child’s first day, please bring: a hat, sunscreen, a water bottle, indoor shoes, a crib sheet and blanket, and a comfort item for nap time (such as a soother, stuffed animal, or pillow). Please also provide diapers, wipes, and weather-appropriate clothing and footwear (including rain boots).
For safety, we ask that children do not wear Crocs or flip-flops for outdoor play. Don’t forget to pack extra changes of clothes to be kept in your child’s backpack!
Transition for Toddlers
Starting at a new centre is a big change, and it’s normal for toddlers to need time to adjust. To make the transition smoother, we recommend a morning visit or two (from 10:00–11:00 a.m.) before your child’s official start date. This helps them get familiar with the classroom, educators, and routines.
During the first few days, families may choose shorter drop-off times to help children settle in comfortably. At Crestview, we follow predictable routines and communicate clearly about transitions (for example, letting children know when it’s almost time to clean up or go outside) so that every child feels safe, secure, and confident.
Potty Training
Our educators work closely with families to support the potty-training process. When your child is ready to begin, please bring underwear and extra clothing. Many children show interest in using the potty by observing peers, and we happily encourage and guide them while keeping you updated on their progress.

What to Prepare for Your Preschooler’s First Day
On your child’s first day, please pack a backpack with: a hat, sunscreen, indoor shoes, a water bottle, a crib sheet and blanket for rest time, and a small comfort item if needed. Include weather-appropriate clothing, outdoor footwear, and extra changes of clothes to keep in their cubby. Please avoid Crocs or flip-flops for outdoor play to ensure safety.
Transition for Preschool Children
Starting preschool is an exciting milestone, and it’s natural for children to take time adjusting to new surroundings. We encourage families to schedule a short morning visit before their child’s first full day to help them get comfortable with their educators and classroom.
During the first few days, shorter drop-offs can make the transition easier. Our educators provide consistent routines and reassurance to help children feel safe, confident, and ready to learn.
School Age Program
Before & After School Care
Our before and after-school programs provide a safe, welcoming space for children to start and end their day. We proudly serve students from Rocky Lake Elementary School, Basinview Drive Community School, and Sunnyside Elementary School (Eaglewood and Sackville campuses).
In the mornings, children are dropped off at the centre before school, where they can enjoy relaxed activities until the school bus picks them up. After school, children return to the centre by bus to participate in games, crafts, and group activities before being picked up by their families.
A nutritious afternoon snack is provided daily to keep children energized and ready for play.
