Roots and Wings Daycare - nurturing 3 - 5 year olds since 1985Our loving Supervisor, Arceli Llanes has been satisfying the needs of our little ones and their parents for seventeen years.
Children who are also enrolled in the preschool program are taken to and from their classes. Our daycare programs include
While the daycare staff are not all trained in the Montessori method, and the daycare does not include all the learning materials, the philosophy of encouraging independence, grace and courtesy and curiosity, all in a loving and comfortable atmosphere, is consistent with the Montessori classrooms. Many of the daycare children spend half their day, either the morning or the afternoon, in a Primary Montessori classroom, and the rest of the day in the daycare setting. The daycare program includes

Maria (Pinky) Sangalang
 Pinky has prepared well to care for our little ones, as she continues to raise six of her own children, now in their teens and early twenties. Her family is her treasure and her source of inspiration, and we’re so fortunate to have her bring moral and spiritual strengths to Roots and Wings. Pinky holds her Early Childhood Education Certificate from Vancouver Career College, as well as a BSC in Marketing and Management. She says, “I look forward to working, playing and laughing with little children and leading them in their acquisition of initial education.”

Originally from the Philippines, where she earned her B.Sc. in Elementary education, Arceli taught elementary school, with her husband, in Brunei for twelve years before coming to Canada. She froze in Winnipeg for two years, working in a daycare centre, then moved to warmer B.C., where she joined us at Roots & Wings in 1993. Arceli holds her Early Childhood Education Certificate for B.C. And in case she needed any more experience, she has raised four children of her own, now in their twenties and thirties. Our children are very much blessed by Arceli’s caring and innovative programming in our daycare centre.
Ruby is another very welcome face in our daycare. Adding Mandarin to the list of languages spoken in our centre, Ruby holds her Early Childhood and Preschool Education Certificate from Jiangsu Province, China, where she taught a class of 42 preschoolers and published articles in their journal. In Canada, Ruby has taught preschool in Richmond, and has taught Mandarin to children ages 4 – 7 in Burnaby and Vancouver.
