Our Kids & Company Eastern Passage centre is located near Fisherman’s Wharf. Natural light from our windows and our open-concept space create a warm and welcoming environment. Our centre has 8 beautiful classrooms and a capacity for 150 children. We have a fantastic team of educators who show all of our children and families unconditional love and support, which really makes our child care centre feel like a home away from home! Eastern Passage is an amazing centre nestled into this beautiful oceanside community! We love bringing the surrounding nature into our classrooms to encourage the children to explore the world around them!
Our Eastern Passage location has their own big parking lot outside of the building.
Meet the Director
My name is Kirsten Wilson and I am the Centre Director of Kids & Company Eastern Passage. I am a recipient of an Early Childhood Education Diploma and have been in the child care field for over 11 years. I started with Kids & Company in September of 2019. I knew that I wanted to work with children at a young age; I spent my time volunteering at my mom’s school-age program and fell in love with the field! What I love most about Kids & Company Eastern Passage is the sense of family we have at our centre!
Kids & Company’s Toddler program is for children between the ages of roughly 18 months and 2.5 years. Toddlers are mobile and eager to explore their environment. As they strive for independence, our educators use an Emergent curriculum approach to learning that supports each child’s individuality. Some of the most important learning outcomes of our toddler program are language development, socialization, self-help skills, and the development of fine and gross motor skills.
Kids & Company’s Preschool program is designed for children between the ages of roughly 2.5 - 5 years. Our educators interact, observe and interpret the interests of our children to encourage discoveries. Our Preschool program provides a foundation for developing greater independence and problem-solving skills; the program integrates new concepts into our children’s world view, promotes sharing and mutual respect, and prepares them for Kindergarten.
Kids & Company’s School Age program accepts children from 5 - 12 years old (Grade 1 - 6) and is available at select locations. Programs include Before and After School Care, School Break Programming, and Summer Camp. Classroom space exists for smaller groups to gather, and activities are designed to meet the needs of varying developmental levels, touching on arts, science, math, drama, imaginative play, and physical fitness. Educators are also available to provide academic support for children that wish to do their homework during After School Care.
