Top Three Preschools in Burlington

Preschool is generally for children from about age 3 to 5 – those who have moved beyond toddlerhood but not old enough for kindergarten. A good preschool program provides your child's development, laying the foundation for a good start in kindergarten.

Here is a list of top three preschools in Burlington:

1)      Childventures Early Learning Academy

What Amenities a Modern Childcare Centre Should Provide

A childcare should be committed to offering a warm, safe and comfortable environment to your child. Take a look at some of the modern and advanced amenities that you need to look for in an early learning centre from facility, faculty, and safety to security.

Amenities That Modern Childcare Centre Should Have

1. Biometric hand/fingerprint scanners: Only approved adults can enter the building. Many parents appreciate this added security feature offers assurance that their child is safe and secure.
2. Cleanliness:  A healthy and hygienic environment is the catalyst to your child’s growth both mental as well as physical. Ensure that there is focus on cleanliness and hygiene. 
3. Spacious: Children love spacious places where they can move and roam freely. Make sure the facility is spacious enough for freedom to move from one room to another.
4. Natural Light and Ventilation: A healthy environment is a must for our mental and physical development. A facility that has proper natural light and ventilation provides a healthy place to grow.
5. Sleep Rooms: Facilities having a separate sleep room for infants is ideal as they understand the need for individualized daily schedules. For children, proper rest makes them energized.
6. Indoor and Outdoor Playgrounds: Learning through play is the effective way of educating. A learning facility should have both indoor and outdoor playgrounds to allow for physical activity.
7. Playgrounds: All of our locations have 2 separate playgrounds. One for infants and toddlers and one for preschool and kindergarten children. Our indoor play areas meet all safety standards. 
8. Specialty Rooms: We have special spaces that enable children to pursue artistic interests. They include music, art, drama, computer/library rooms and a gym.
