Structured activity
Arts and crafts, sensory play, storytelling, or group activities. The kids choose; Corrine sets up.
Lunch
A home-cooked lunch, made fresh in the kitchen.
Rest / quiet time
Younger children nap; older children have quiet rest or reading time to recharge.
Outdoor play & exploration
Fresh air and physical activity. Whenever the weather lets them, the kids spend time outside.

Exact times vary by season and the ages of children currently in care. Call Corrine to talk through a typical day.
How the day works
What sets CJ’s apart
Time to play
Blocks, books, art, dress-up, sandbox. The kids pick, Corrine watches and steps in when they need her.
Real meals
A morning snack, a home-cooked lunch, and an afternoon snack. Made fresh in the kitchen, every day.
Outside, every day
Backyard time whenever the weather lets them. Boots on, snowsuits in winter, bare feet in summer.
A small group
Same kids, same Corrine, every day. She knows their quirks, their favourite books, and what helps them settle.
A steady routine
The day follows the same shape every time. Kids settle in faster and stay calmer when they know what comes next.
Real talk with parents
If something feels off with your child, you’ll hear from Corrine right away. Not at pickup.
Meals & snacks
Nourished throughout the day
A morning snack, home-cooked lunch, and afternoon snack are provided each day, prepared fresh in the home kitchen using wholesome ingredients.
