OUR PROGRAMS
Your Monkey is Growing Up!
The Monkey Barrel Childcare Centre continuously explores new curriculum and learning in order to advance our programs.
TODDLER
Our early childhood educators are here to help them navigate that exciting time between babyhood and childhood. Our 1:5 ratio means educators are hands-on when it comes to nap time, potty training and more. The Monkey Barrel offers a balanced program that allows children to explore, be engaged and develop fine motor, gross motor and cognitive skills.
At this age, we incorporate a variety of age-appropriate physical activities, arts & crafts, and free play. They’ll just love the many opportunities to get outside and have FUN!
Programming Runs: Monday – Friday, 7am to 6pm
PRESCHOOL
Their next big milestone: school! During their time with us, our educators will help your preschooler develop the social and emotional skills to succeed in a ‘big kid’ classroom.
With a 1:8 ratio, our older group safely enjoys both indoor and outdoor free play and community walks. Preschoolers enjoy a full day program with activities that encourages them to be active, socialize with their peers, enhance motor and cognitive skills and be creative.
Programming Runs: Monday – Friday, 7am to 6pm
Before & After School Care
Designed for the busy families in Saugeen Shores in mind. A terrific option for parents with BOTH day care and school-age care needs - one drop off and pick up location. We’ve got you covered.
NOTE: GC Huston before and after school care is located at the Southampton school and run by The Monkey Barrel staff.
“I can’t say enough great things about the experiences that our children have had in the toddler, preschool and school aged programs.
The Monkey Barrel is truly something special and I am so fortunate to have my children be apart of such a wonderful and positive environment.”
