About Tiny Hoppers Early Learning Centres

Tiny Hoppers Early Learning Centres is a daycare and child care provider in the Summerside neighbourhood of London on Commissioners Rd E. The facility offers full-time infant daycare, full and part-time toddler daycare, full and part-time preschool, and JK and SK daycare. It also provides before and after school care with activities including storytelling, sports, crafts, and science experiments. The centre follows an emergent curriculum philosophy where educators design activities and environments based on children's interests. Programs use natural products, open-ended equipment, and loose parts to support social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development through music, movement, and hands-on play. Brigida Aversa and Theresa Bertuzzi founded Tiny Hoppers in 2005 in the Ottawa South region. The business has expanded across Canada and internationally. Bashir Dhalwani is the owner of the London Summerside location, and Melissa Glanville is the location director. Staff members are certified in their areas of work. The centre participates in the Canada Wide Early Learning Child Care Program (CWELCC) and received a Bronze Winner award in the Community Votes Daycare and Child Care category. The centre provides a parent portal for families to view documentation of a child's learning through photographs, videos, and portfolios.
