What Makes Daisy Days Daycare’s Preschool Program Different

Not all preschool daycare programs deliver the same developmental outcomes. At Daisy Days Daycare in Regina SK, our preschool program is:

• Play-based AND intentional — children’s natural play is the primary vehicle for learning, but our ECE-certified educators design environments and activities that target specific developmental outcomes in every session
• Curriculum-documented — educators observe, document, and reflect on each child’s development, creating responsive curriculum rather than a one-size-fits-all program
• Kindergarten-focused — every component of our preschool curriculum is connected to the skills that actually predict school success: language, executive function, social competence, and emerging literacy and numeracy
• Informed by ECE research — our educators hold ECE certification and engage in ongoing professional development aligned with Saskatchewan’s early learning frameworks

Pre-Literacy: What Your Child Learns at Daisy Days Daycare Preschool

Phonological Awareness — The #1 Reading Predictor

Daily rhyming songs, fingerplays, syllable clapping, and initial sound games build the phonological awareness that research consistently identifies as the strongest predictor of reading success. Your 4-year-old who can rhyme “cat/bat/hat” and identify the first sound in “butterfly” is building the neural foundation for reading.

Alphabet Knowledge

Name writing (each child’s name is their first meaningful text), environmental print (cubbies, labels, room signs), alphabet exploration through puzzles, games, and books — not drill, not worksheets, but meaningful engagement with letters in context.

Vocabulary and Language Comprehension

Daily read-alouds with rich discussion, sophisticated educator language in everyday conversation (“That’s magnificent!” “What do you predict will happen next?”), storytelling and retelling — building the vocabulary and comprehension foundation that reading depends on.

Pre-Numeracy: Building Mathematical Thinking at Daisy Days Preschool

• Number sense: Counting with one-to-one correspondence, subitizing, cardinality (understanding that the last number tells you how many)
• Patterns: Identifying, extending, and creating patterns — the foundation of algebraic thinking
• Geometry: Shape identification, composition, and spatial vocabulary through blocks and construction
• Measurement: Comparison language (taller, heavier, longer) and non-standard measurement

Social-Emotional Learning — The Real Key to Kindergarten Readiness

Research consistently shows that the skills most predictive of Kindergarten success are NOT pre-reading or pre-math skills — they are executive function (self-regulation, attention, working memory) and social competence. At Daisy Days Daycare’s preschool program:

• Dramatic play is prioritized — it is the single most powerful builder of executive function in early childhood
• Conflict resolution is coached, not punished — children practice social problem-solving with educator scaffolding
• Emotional vocabulary is built explicitly — children learn to name what they feel before they can manage it
• Group participation skills are developed daily through circle time, cooperative games, and group projects
