Mahogany

Under the loving care of Ms. Yani, Discovery Tots – Mahogany provides a warm, structured, and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and thrive.

Her licensed family dayhome is thoughtfully designed with dedicated indoor play and learning spaces, along with direct access to a large, fully fenced backyard. This inviting setup allows children to explore, discover, and enjoy safe outdoor play year-round.

Conveniently located in the heart of Mahogany, just off Mahogany Boulevard SE, families appreciate the ease of curbside pickup and drop-off. With nearby parks, schools, and community amenities, this neighborhood is a truly family-friendly choice.

Licensed to care for up to six registered children at a time, Ms. Yani’s program ensures small group sizes and personalized attention. Each day is carefully balanced with structured learning and free play, featuring activities from the Discovery Tots curriculum, storytime, crafts, music, and outdoor play. Children also enjoy imaginative games such as building, puzzles, and role-play, which foster creativity, problem-solving, and social development.

Enrichment opportunities such as STEM activities, baking, the Puppy Program, and Music Time give children the chance to develop empathy, rhythm, and social confidence in fun, hands-on ways.

Above all, Ms. Yani’s dayhome provides a calm, caring, and consistent environment where children feel safe, supported, and inspired—and where parents have peace of mind knowing their little ones are in loving hands.

With 9 years of experience in the childcare industry, Ms. Yani brings warmth, dedication, and genuine passion to every day at her dayhome. Holding certifications in ECE Level 1, Alberta Food Safety Basics, Alberta Health and Safety Basics for Childcare Providers, and First Aid with CPR AED, Ms. Yani blends professional expertise with heartfelt care.

Her dayhome is more than just a place to spend the day—it’s a loving, nurturing environment where children thrive. Packed with engaging activities, laughter, and learning, it’s no wonder kids often don’t want to go home, affectionately calling it their home. As one parent put it: “A day with Ms. Yani is the best.”

Ms. Yani’s approach is rooted in respect, joy, and individualized care. She loves “the chaos, the joy, the learning, and watching kids grow uniquely at their own pace.” She believes, as L.R. Knost says, that “respecting a child teaches them that even the smallest, most powerless, most vulnerable person is worthy of respect.”

A mom of two loving children, Ms. Yani enjoys cooking, gardening, exploring nature, and family trips to the mountains. For her, building relationships is at the heart of childcare—parents choose her not just for the activities or space, but for her. As one family shared, “We don’t need all the fancy toys. We just need you, Ms. Yani, for our kids.”

At Ms. Yani’s dayhome, every child is valued, respected, and cared for like family—a place where they’ll grow, learn, and feel truly at home.
