Grandma Gooch provides a safe and fun environment for children to enjoy before and after school. We offer a variety of activities inside the classroom so that children can choose how they want to wind down after school. There are opportunities to socialize with others and/or have a quiet space to read, craft or build. Our rooms are carefully curated with a wide variety of activities to support multiple interests and learning styles. You will see literacy, numeracy and STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) opportunities integrated into many aspects of our OSC classroom as well as ample opportunity to create and build whatever can be imagined. Grandma Gooch daycare has talented, experienced educators who truly enjoy connecting with your child each day!

Kindergarten children in the Catholic School system attend Kindergarten for 3 hours per day on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday. Public School Kindergarten children attend 3 hours per day, with early dismissal on Thursday and more PD Days throughout the year to match Catholic system of Thursdays off.
As a result, most Kindergarten children spend more time at our center than they do at school. We carefully plan our time to offer literacy and numeracy activities to supplement the kindergarten curriculum. We also offer circle time, story time and social stories to enhance your child’s social and emotional skill development.

we open at 6:30am so that you can drop your children off and get to work on time. We offer open ended play for children until it’s time for us to get them to their school buses or we drop them to schools by our van.

We pick up your child at their schools and provide them with a healthy after school snack so that they are fueled for fun and activities. We offer a variety of outdoor options so that children can enjoy fresh air and exercise. Indoors the classrooms are set up with various centers to suit each child: Arts & Crafts, Building, Cozy Corner, Dramatic Play and a Homework Zone.

We plan special activities for the children when they are with us for school holidays. This includes field trips, special guests and activities that require more time such as baking and walks to nearby playgrounds. This includes inviting 3rd party providers to offer onsite programs such as visual Art, Yoga, and Kids Sport. Our Summer Camp programming offers a choice of options including Sports, Art, Science and Baking and is highly recommended by current families and those from the community who join us for the summer.
