About Sunrise In-Home Multiage Child Care

A Program Led by Experience

Sunrise is owned and operated by Ravi Puri, an experienced Early Childhood Educator with over two decades of hands-on experience working with children in licensed child care and preschool settings across Vancouver. Ravi holds an Early Childhood Education (ECE) Diploma and a Preschool/Kindergarten Montessori Teaching Diploma, and has worked as a teacher in preschool, Montessori, and daycare classrooms, including as a lead teacher.

Her background includes supporting children at different developmental stages, leading daily classroom activities, communicating closely with parents, and creating structured yet flexible routines that support each child’s growth. This experience shapes every aspect of the Sunrise program.

Consistency and Continuity of Care

One of the most important benefits of Sunrise is consistency. Children are cared for daily by the same primary caregiver, allowing strong, trusting relationships to develop over time. When needed, qualified and trained relief staff support the program to ensure continuity of care while maintaining the same routines and expectations children are familiar with.

Our Philosophy

At Sunrise, we believe that every child is a unique individual who develops at their own pace. Children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful relationships. Our approach supports children’s social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development through engaging activities, open-ended materials, and daily opportunities for both indoor and outdoor play.

We also believe in:

• Respecting each child’s individuality
• Providing a safe, calm, and predictable environment
• Encouraging independence and confidence
• Supporting positive behaviour through guidance, not punishment

A Thoughtful Start: Gradual Entry

We understand that starting child care is a big transition for both children and families. Sunrise offers a gradual entry program, allowing new children to attend for shorter days during their first week before transitioning to full-time care. This helps children settle in comfortably and build trust at their own pace.

Inclusive and Family-Focused

Sunrise values diversity, inclusivity, and multiculturalism. Families from all backgrounds are welcomed and respected, and cultural traditions and events are encouraged as part of the learning environment. Communication is available in English, Hindi, and Punjabi, helping families feel comfortable and supported.

We believe strong communication with families is essential. Parents are encouraged to share feedback, ask questions, and work collaboratively with us to support their child’s development.

A Safe and Licensed Environment

Sunrise In-Home Multiage Child Care is licensed by Vancouver Coastal Health and operates in accordance with provincial child care regulations. The program is licensed for a maximum of eight children, allowing for personalized attention and a calm, small-group setting.

Our goal is to provide children with a safe, supportive, and enriching place where they feel secure, valued, and excited to learn each day.
