Welcome to Yukon Best Childcare

At Yukon Best Childcare children are assured individualized care and
attention in a warm, inviting and artistic home setting.

By keeping numbers small Yukon Best Childcare offers
a structured environment that is flexible to the needs of all children.

Through free play and guided activities children have fun learning
to make healthy choices respecting their own needs
and the needs of others.

Core Values

By modeling gentle encouragement and kindness we promote
values of respect, tolerance and genuine caring.

Healthy child development includes a strong foundation of love
for our environment and for our community.   

Encouraging children to make choices is fundamental to their social,  emotional, and intellectual development.

Caring for the earth through creating a garden builds a sense of  stewardship that extends to caring for other people.

Best Practices

Children’s daily routines follow and celebrate seasonal rythmns. 
Fall and winter focus on indoor activities including arts and crafts, cooking and baking and movement and music and also include outdoor play.

Spring, Summer and increasing daylight find the children spending more time playing outdoors and planting and caring for the three gardens.
We value organic gardening and have a vegetable, herb and Zen garden.

Other regular activities include T’ai Chi chuan, Yoga, Nature walks, free play, story time and puppet theatre, hands - on science lessons, birthday celebrations, and visits with elders and community leaders.
