Toddlers
Our toddler program introduces foundational skills through play, creative arts, language development, and sensory exploration. Educators create personalized learning experiences that respect each child's developmental pace while fostering social interaction and motor skills. The curriculum balances structured activities with free-choice play in a secure, stimulating environment.
Preschool
The preschool program nurtures curiosity and critical thinking through inquiry-based learning. Children engage with literacy, math, and science concepts during group activities, then apply knowledge through play. Our educators guide social-emotional development while encouraging independence, preparing children for kindergarten with confidence and enthusiasm for learning.
Play-Based Learning
Our play-based approach combines teacher-led instruction with child-directed exploration. Children develop problem-solving skills by experimenting with materials, asking questions, and collaborating with peers. This method reinforces academic concepts while promoting creativity, communication, and emotional intelligence in a joyful, stress-free setting.
Physical Literacy
Daily physical activities build gross and fine motor skills through outdoor play and structured exercises. Children develop coordination, balance, and spatial awareness using climbing structures, sports equipment, and movement games. This foundation supports overall health, classroom focus, and confidence in physical abilities.
STEAM Curriculum
STEAM activities integrate science, technology, engineering, arts, and math through hands-on projects. Children explore concepts like cause-and-effect, patterns, and simple coding using age-appropriate materials. This interdisciplinary approach cultivates analytical thinking, creativity, and problem-solving skills essential for future academic success.

This centre has excellent programming and prepares children to head off to school. Knowledgeable, professional and want to see your child flourish by providing heartfelt care. They keep you updated daily with a great app, pictures and schedule of your childs day. This centre was amazing during the evolving health changes with COVID-19 providing updates and keeping your children safe. It was a great experience for our family!

My son has been going to busy hands and minds since June this year. We have had a great experience, the teachers were really helpful and co operative in making my son settle in. They wouldnt mind even if i was calling three times a day and would always update me on his routines. A big Thank you to Shannon in Pre school 2 for being an awesome teacher :)

Very badly maintained facility, the people in the daycare dont feel responsible, the facility doesnt maintain transparency in the process. My daughter fell sick every time she attended this daycare continuously past 2 months. I would not recommend busy hands to anyone.

I usually do not write comments, but the experience that I had with this daycare was bad. Some of them they are not kind, specially manager at all. She does not even say hi or bye to parents while picking up or dropping off kids. They make their rules for COVID on top of the ministry of health which is not right, so you need to keep your kids 10 days at home or torture your kid with COVID test. Beside above issues there is not enough communication between you and teachers just through the APP. My son from night before was really upset about next day going to day care always. Literally one day he

I just finished registering my daughter after I did a tour on Zoom. The centre looks very clean and well kept. The classrooms looked spacious and the teachers seemed very interactive with the students. I cant wait to have my daughter start in the fall as this place has been highly recommended to me by my neighbours.

Great place! Ive been looking for a caring daycare for a while now and Ive finally found one. I feel safe not only with their covid protocols but also with how they care for the children. The staff has a great relationship with the children which means a lot to me . My son speaks highly of his teachers :)
