Nozveen's Family Day Care

Approximately 2 weeks ago I visited San Marino World of Learning while exploring childcare options for my son, who has a global developmental delay. Upon arrival, I mentioned his needs, and I was immediately advised that this center might not be the best fit due to its open-plan layout, with all children sharing one large room. Instead, I was directed to another center down the road that was deemed a “better fit.” While I understand that every childcare center has its own structure and approach, I believe inclusivity should be a priority in early childhood education. A well-designed childcare centre should cater to the diverse needs of all children rather than redirecting families elsewhere. It would be great to see San Marino World of Learning explore ways to make their environment more adaptable and welcoming to children of all abilities. That said, I have no concerns regarding the infrastructure or general setup of the center. My feedback is solely based on the importance of fostering inclusivity so that all children, regardless of their developmental needs, have the opportunity to thrive in a supportive environment. I also visited 16 other childcares that week which in my honest opinion I believe were more welcoming. I hope this feedback helps spark reflection on how the center can evolve to accommodate a wider range of needs in the future. Thanks!
