Why parents choose a dayhome

A real home

A small group of at most 6 children, in a cozy home instead of a big centre. Calmer days and real attention.

Learning through curiosity

Children learn by exploring, asking questions and solving problems, so they stay curious about the world.

Full-time or part-time

Full-time and part-time spots, at Alberta's set parent fees for licensed care. Subsidy approved.

Always in the loop

Updates through the parent app all day, so you know how your child's day is going.

Ayesha Shah, owner of Curious Cocoons

Hi, I'm Ayesha

Welcome to Curious Cocoons. I believe every child is a natural researcher, born with endless curiosity, and my job is to give that curiosity a safe, loving place to grow.

I'm completing my Level 3 Early Childhood Educator certification, and I've spent more than a year caring for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. I'd love to meet you and your child. Come for a tour, ask anything, and see if we're the right fit.
