February 2009 -
Tiny Hoppers celebrates first
year anniversary in Bridlewood location
(Posted Feb 20, 2009 By Sabine
Gibbins)
It's 'quiet time' for the kids at Tiny
Hoppers. The children are either curled up on their favourite
cozy blanket, or sitting quietly as relaxing piano music
floats through the air. In a few moments, though, they'll
be allowed to race around the room, and climb on one of
the colourful and safe play structures. Tiny Hoppers, which
is based in Bridlewood, is celebrating its one-year anniversary
this season in its Kanata location. As supervisor Shaunna
Warren puts it, it has been a highly successful year and
one on which they'd like to build. "We'd like to grow
more as a business," she says.
Tiny Hoppers runs a nursery school, before
and after school day care, play classes, and birthday parties.
The programs are so popular with youngsters that at the
end of the day, they are reluctant to leave, says Warren.
They don't want to leave to go home," she says. "Their
parents sometimes have to carry a lot of them out."
The play classes have grown immensely, and in the process,
Warren and her colleagues have learned each child is unique
from one another and all are treated differently. "We
laugh with these kids every day," she says. Safe, fun
place to be. (more
