Short, joyful outings to nearby playgrounds, local parks, or community spaces encourage social connection and physical activity. Optional activities like gymnastics, Karate or horseback riding lessons are occasionally available, helping kids grow emotionally and physically while having fun.

Pro-D Day Adventures
Pro D Days are all about making the most of a full day with adventure, connection, and joy! Our full-day care (available when minimum attendance is met two weeks prior) is designed to spark excitement while keeping kids safe and nurtured. We start with healthy snacks and free play to let kids relax and connect socially. Then, we venture out for a special outing to places like the Royal BC Museum, Esquimalt Recreation Centre for Fun Swims (with our dedicated lifeguard and fun leader), or local libraries for story time and exploration. These bigger outings encourage physical activity and emotional growth as kids explore new environments together. Whether it’s a day of discovery or playful moments with friends, children return home happy, fulfilled, and eager for the next Pro D Day. Direct message us for details!
