Znaika Home Daycare in Newmarket is a place where childhood feels natural, joyful, and full of discovery. The program is bilingual in English and Russian, creating an atmosphere where children learn to communicate freely in both languages. This helps them develop not only speech and comprehension but also a sense of cultural connection and confidence in expressing themselves.
The daycare is led by Ekaterina Gueletina, an experienced and caring provider who believes that learning should grow from play and real experiences. Children explore through art, construction, storytelling, and sensory games that encourage imagination, problem-solving, and social interaction. Every activity is designed to help them develop curiosity, independence, and kindness toward one another.
Outdoor play is a regular and joyful part of the day. Children spend time exploring nature, collecting leaves, watching insects, and simply enjoying fresh air. Indoors, the environment is calm, clean, and organized to help children focus and feel comfortable. There are cozy reading corners, creative zones with paints and puzzles, and enough open space for movement and laughter.
The small group size allows for close attention to every child. Ekaterina observes how children learn and interact, gently supporting their development with patience and care. Meals and snacks are homemade, healthy, and served in a family-style setting that teaches good habits and social skills.
Znaika Home Daycare is not just a place where children spend their day. It is a warm community where they grow surrounded by language, culture, and love. It is a space where every child feels safe to explore, express, and dream.
