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 on story)
