Daily life
Follow a day at Little Otters.
Kids feel safe when they know what's next. Scroll down and swim through a typical day with our otter, from the morning pickup to the ride home.
Step 1
Pickup from home
Our team can collect your child from home, so the morning rush gets shorter.
Step 2
Hello & free play
Blocks, dress-up, the play kitchen and the train table. Play is how little kids learn.
Step 3
Learning time
Age-right activities: art, early math, letters, stories and circle time.
Step 4
Yoga, music & movement
Yoga, songs and movement help kids stretch, wiggle out their energy and practise calm breathing.
Step 5
Hot lunch
A warm lunch cooked in our kitchen, eaten together at the table.
Step 6
Quiet rest
Nap or quiet time after lunch, so everyone recharges for the afternoon.
Step 7
Outside & field trips
Time in our fenced backyard, plus indoor and outdoor field trips around Leduc.
Step 8
School run
We drive school-age children to and from school, then it's out-of-school care.
Step 9
Evening snack
A snack before home time, so nobody walks in the door starving.
Step 10
Your Lillio update
Photos and notes from the day land on your phone through the Lillio app.
Step 11
Ride home
Drop-off at home is available too. Then it's family time.
Video clips filmed at Little Otters. Times vary by age group; your child's educators will walk you through their room's day.
