“Play expands intelligence, stimulates the imagination, encourages creative problem solving, and helps develop confidence, self-esteem, and a positive attitude toward learning. ” –Dr. Fraser Mustard
At Chapel Place Daycare, we strongly believe and encourage all kinds of play! We believe greatly that the job of every child is to play.

Ontario’s Ministry of Education’s document “The Early Learning Framework” is used within the Chapel Place Classrooms as a guide to support all of our early childhood programmes. With six distinct principles, the “Early Learning Framework” provides a shared language and understanding of child development.
The Early Learning Framework is based on research and perspectives from diverse fields of knowledge. It recognizes the distinct values held by families, communities, and cultures.
