No School Friday Care

This program is a fun “Nature Based” also known as “Forest Friday” full day program for school aged children (kindergarten – 11 years old) when school is not in session to help those families whom do work Fridays. Each no School Friday is learning either about an Animal, the environment surrounding us, learning some outdoor survival skills, and spending a big portion of the day outdoors.

What Parents Say

“Our family has been with Mrs. Megan for the past 2 years and I would give my left arm to keep her in Fernie. She is organized, caring, motivated and amazing with our kids. They come home everyday with crafts, stories and smiles. Her programming is far superior to any other childcare facility we’ve experienced, and has contributed greatly to my children's school preparedness. I’m sure whatever facility Megan is running will be amazing.”

“Megan was such a positive influence with our daughters. With her playful nature, love of the outdoors and never ending energy, they always came home exhausted and full of new stories.”

“We are beyond grateful for Ms. Megan and her Live Laugh Learn Child Care. Ms. Megan teaches from a place of love, which has made leaving our daughter with her so easy. Her kindness, dedication, and passion for early childhood education is evident in everything she does. Ms. Megan is committed to providing a safe and engaging environment where compassion and care is at the forefront of her program. It takes a very special individual to care for and educate such little humans, and Ms. Megan is amazing at it. She loves and supports the children in her day care unconditionally and teaches them to always be confident and kind. Thank-you from the bottom of our hearts for providing such a wonderful place for our daughter to learn and grow. We will miss you very much. The community of Sparwood is very fortunate to have Ms. Megan and Laugh & Learn as an option for childcare.”

“Our 2 Children had the best experience possible with laugh & Learn Childcare. Megan is absolutely incredible, and does it all! Creative projects, curriculum based learning, play and nature learning, all with amazing support for the parents also. We could not have been happier with the choice we made to have our kids with Laugh & Learn.”
