Choosing licensed daycare provides families with reassurance that programs meet provincial standards for safety, staffing, and quality. CJA’s Nursery and Junior Kindergarten licensed daycare programs are part of our warm and welcoming school environment where children feel safe, supported, and ready to learn.
Families benefit from government-supported affordability, caring educators, and consistent daily routines that support both early learning and social development.
Through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships, children build confidence, independence, and a strong sense of belonging from their very first days at CJA. Our classrooms are designed to be developmentally appropriate, helping children build foundational learning skills.

Nursery and Junior Kindergarten students attend morning classes and may extend their day through Gan Khugim, our extended-day daycare program. This allows children to remain in a familiar and supportive environment throughout the day.
