My name is Paige, and I have Paige’s Day Home in the small town of Claresholm. Before running a dayhome, I was a chef in some amazing places including the Fairmont Château Lake Louise for 2 years. But after a number of years cooking, I needed a change. As much as I loved to cook and had a passion for it, the cooking world takes time away from family and friends and even myself. So, after hearing a friend complain of a lack of accredited childcare options in our small town. I decided to make the change and use my other passion to support my family. My passion for helping grow little minds and a love of watching little ones grow up. I ended up opening the day home a month later.
And that was almost 12 years ago. In the pass 12 years, I have grown a lot as an Early Childhood Educator. I have completed my Early Childhood Education Diploma (have my Early Childhood Supervisor Certification), plus all the other credentials the agency and licensing require. My program has also grown and developed. We use an amazing program called Hipporay, which gives the children lots of great activities to do from arts and crafts, singing, gross and fine motor activities as well as sensory play, dramatic play and even science. We also work on numerous things you would like your child to learn. I offer a program similar to a preschool program.
Aside, from the day home, I am involved in the local Girl Guiding Unit as the Spark Leader and I am the children’s Liturgy Teacher at church. My family, which consists of myself, my husband and daughter and our fur babies (2 dogs and 2 cats) love to do things together. We like camping, hiking, fishing and just doing anything we can together even just sitting at home watching a movie.
I can’t wait to get to know your family and your child and have them join our day home!
