Cutefeet Childcare is family daycare founded in 2006 in the West Abbotsford area on Clearbrook Road, owned and operated by Mandeep Karwal. In September 2015, Cutefeet Childcare moved to East Abbotsford in a new house fully licensed from Fraser Health, Abbotsford Fire Department and City Hall. Cutefeet Childcare is a place where children receive quality care in an environment that is safe, clean, and nurturing, with endless opportunities for learning through our programs. A place that not only fosters a child's physical, social, emotional, and intellectual development, but takes it a step further by teaching the basics of discipline, respect and manners as well. A place that understands the stress of today's lifestyle and responds by opening early and staying open late – so parents have peace of mind! Our facility is fully licensed and meets or exceeds provincial requirements to provide the highest level of quality and supervision. Our owner is experienced and highly trained in childhood education, having a certificate from Fraser Valley University in Family Child Care. She also has a Masters in Psychology and specialization in Developmental, Abnormal & Industrial Psychology from India. She is also certified in first aid, CPR and food safety courses.
Our goal is to have children grow up as competent and confident learners and communicators, healthy in mind, body and spirit, secure in their sense of belonging and in the knowledge that they make a valued contribution to the society. As a campus director, I value the importance of early year’s education for children. The team at New Leaf Learning and Childcare centres have a deep respect for the culture of childhood and strive towards best practice each day and create a sense of belonging for children, families and the wider community.The team and I draw from a range of perspectives and contemporary theories that influence an individualised curriculum and enhances learning experiences.
Symmetry Early Learning Center is a preschool setting Childcare Center in Abbotsford which is a fun, uniquely designed program that stimulates social, emotional, physical, and mental growth. Through a series of unique teaching methods based off some of the philosophies of Friedrich Froebel, a German philosopher and educator invented the first Kindergarten, Symmetry Early Learning Center ensures an innovative experience and community for parents and children. ??The experience for each child is a joy filled educational journey through play. Unique ideas, stories and observations are drawn out from the child by way of specially designed balls, blocks, sticks, rings, and beads. These are what are referred to as “The Froebel Gabe (gifts)”. Gabe toys are perhaps the world’s first educational toys. They certainly were the first materials designed for child development, as Kindergarten was the original preschool method. Through guided Gabe play each child is supported in his/her activity so that the learning process is creative and meaningful.
