Safety you can ask about
Visits, ratios, sleep, food, outdoor time, first aid, and how to report. We keep visiting after your child starts. That is the point of an agency.
For families
Tell us the child. We find the house.
Match your child with an approved Jack’n Jill home in Grande Prairie. Safety first, then one-on-one teaching, small groups, and play you can tour—with agency visits after enrolment.
- 01
Share ages, start date, and the part of Grande Prairie that makes drop-off sane.
- 02
We check which approved homes have space, the right infant mix, and a group small enough to teach close.
- 03
You visit that home. Ask about sleep, food, the yard, and who else lives there. If it fits, we complete the agency paperwork.
- 04
We keep visiting the home after your child starts. Safety does not end at enrolment.
What a placement should feel like
Safety first. Then teaching. Then play.
One-on-one teaching
Mixed-age homes mean an educator can sit with your child to read, feed, settle, or practise a skill—while the rest of the small group stays held.
Small-group teaching
Circle time, kitchen-table work, outdoor games, shared meals. A huddle of a few children—not a classroom of twenty.
Play as the work of the day
Indoor play, the fenced yard, nature, and rest. Playing is how children practise being people.
Playing is not leftover time.
In a family day home, play is most of the day: the indoor kitchen, the yard, a nature table, rest after. Group teaching happens in short, close circles. One-on-one happens when a child needs a lap. If a tour only shows toys and never mentions sleep checks or first aid, keep asking.
