Child Care Program
Ages 5-11
Side Quest is a child care program that provides an environment that supports children off the main path. When children are not at home and/or school, Side Quest provides a journey for them to explore and experiment with new ideas, master unique abilities, and discover lasting friendships that support their well being and success.
Qualified nurturing educators guide children in their learning with a comprehensive selection of materials, equipment, and activities while also providing opportunities for leadership roles. We are an inclusive program that coordinates with community agencies and families to enhance each child’s learning and growth.
Youth Program

Our Philosophy
We adopt the FLIGHT curriculum into our program that believes in the image of the child and how best to support their social, physical, cognitive, creative, and emotional needs.
Notice (observations), Name (interest, behaviour, experiences), and Nurture (offer opportunities for child’s learning and development) will be implemented to ensure children’s interests and needs are addressed and supported.
