Puddle Hoppers Childcare

At Puddle Hoppers, learning happens through play, discovery, and connecting with the world around us 🌿✨

Our little hoppers have been diving into rich, hands-on learning about Indigenous culture right here in BC. From discovering traditional art styles and storywork to learning about local plants and animals, these moments build curiosity, respect, and deep connections to the land we play on every day.

🍂 A Fresh Start This Fall at Puddle Hoppers! 🍎📚

From dedicated activity areas to cozy spaces for quiet time, every part of our daycare is set up to make learning through play fun and engaging. 💛

As we settle into a new season, we’re excited for all the learning, laughter, and memories ahead at Puddle Hoppers! 🌿✨

🌟 Staff Spotlight – Meet Noreen! 🌟

This month, we're excited to introduce Noreen, one of the wonderful educators who helps make Puddle Hoppers such a caring and supportive place for our children.

Noreen's passion for early childhood education began at a young age while helping her mother in a home daycare. Since then, she has been dedicated to creating an inclusive, nurturing environment where every child feels valued, encouraged, and supported as they learn and grow.

As a proud mom of two, Noreen understands the importance of helping children build confidence, develop new skills, and reach their full potential. She loves watching each child grow in their own unique way and strives to make every day a positive learning experience.

When she's not at Puddle Hoppers, you'll find her kayaking, fishing, metal detecting, reading, enjoying long walks, or spending time with family and friends.

We're so grateful to have Noreen as part of the Puddle Hoppers team! 💚
