Every Child Belongs
We celebrate individual strengths, cultures and abilities, adapting experiences and working with families and support professionals to encourage participation.
Beacons of Light Daycare serves families in Sarnia–Lambton. Founded in 2002, the centre focuses on relationships, curiosity and developmentally appropriate, hands-on experiences.
Our Vision and Mission
Our mission: Caring for Families. Our vision is to support the emotional, physical, social and intellectual development of every child while celebrating their individuality, abilities and potential.
Our Philosophy
We see children as capable, curious learners with individual strengths and interests. Open-ended materials, child-initiated experiences, positive guidance and inclusive environments help children explore, express themselves and build self-regulation.
The Four Foundations of Learning
Our play-based, emergent curriculum is informed by Ontario’s How Does Learning Happen? framework.
Belonging
Building welcoming relationships where every child feels included and valued.
Well-Being
Supporting children’s emotional and physical development in caring, safe environments.
Engagement
Encouraging curiosity, discovery and learning through meaningful play.
Expression
Helping children communicate, create and share their ideas.
Our educators observe children’s interests and work in partnership with families to support individual growth.
Our Commitment to Learning and Families
Guided by Ontario’s How Does Learning Happen? framework, we build inclusive, nurturing environments where children learn through play, exploration and meaningful relationships.
Positive Relationships and Play
Educators follow children’s interests, encourage curiosity and expression, and use respectful, positive guidance to support social and emotional growth.
Learning Together
All childcare employees complete at least 10 hours of professional development annually. Quarterly performance reviews and an annual parent satisfaction survey help inform improvements.
