My name is Ann Villacin. I am a level 2 Early Childhood educator that has operated a day home for 9 years. I was a nurse in the Philippines but when I came to Canada I worked for 5 years as a caregiver with people who had special needs. My day home journey started after I had my first child. Initially I wanted my child to have some playmates but along the way I developed a passion to be with young children. My husband Michael helps me run the day home when he is home from his full time job. We have 2 children. We really enjoy having our day home. We work as a team and it is truly a Family Day Home, everyone is part of our family. We Filipinos are family oriented people that are known to be world class caregivers.
As a Day Home Provider, I see to it that my primary roles are performed to the highest standards. From daily care, nurturing and educating the children as well as connecting with the families and community are of great importance to me. I see to it that I’m connecting with the parents and keep the lines of communication open.
My day home is a child centered, fun, friendly and safe environment for your children. Here they will play, sing, dance and develop their own potential with the other children. They will have the opportunity to be independent, have the freedom to explore things and develop their unique creativity.
We have a big backyard with many play materials. We have multicultural materials, toys, books, musical instruments and dress up clothes to meet diverse cultural needs. We believe in, value and respect cultural ethnicity. We believe that diversity enriches our society, it gives us insight and perspective that one might not otherwise be exposed to and it provides an opportunity to discover, learn and understand the world that we live in.
