About Us
At Mt. Arrowsmith Infant & Toddler Care LTD., we provide licensed, high-quality early childhood care rooted in a nature-based approach. Located in beautiful Parksville, BC, our program is thoughtfully designed to support the unique developmental needs of infants and toddlers through hands-on exploration, outdoor play, and connection to the natural world. We believe that children thrive in environments where they feel safe, supported, and inspired, and our caring, qualified educators are dedicated to fostering curiosity, independence, and a love for learning from the very beginning.
At Mt. Arrowsmith Infant & Toddler Care LTD., exploration is at the heart of our teaching and learning philosophy. We believe that young children learn best through hands-on, meaningful experiences that spark curiosity and encourage discovery. Our educators carefully observe and follow each child’s interests, using these moments of exploration—whether it’s watching insects, feeling the texture of tree bark, or splashing in puddles—as opportunities to support growth across all developmental areas. By creating an environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired to explore, we nurture their natural desire to learn, build confidence, and lay the foundation for lifelong learning.
