Our Philosophy

We believe that quality childcare facilitates the healthy growth and development of the ‘total’ child.  Quality childcare invites each child to explore his/her environment in safe conditions that challenge the curiosity and heighten the child’s sense of his/her own self.

We believe that each child is unique and thus has the right to receive experiences that will ensure that his/her full potential is challenged and developed.

We believe that through play, the child is best able to explore, to learn and to grow.  To this end, the staff will provide a childcare program that allows for each child to play in situations that will assist in their physical, emotional, cognitive and communicational growth.

We believe that the childcare program must be balanced for each child and that each child must receive both challenging and stimulating experiences and must feel safe and secure.

We believe that the childcare experience must also blend and balance with the child’s family.  We believe that by encouraging family input through open and ongoing communication with families, we can enhance each child’s care experience.

We believe that the childcare staff can offer support and encouragement to families.

We believe that quality childcare requires well-trained staff that brings to their work a commitment to the child and his/her family.

We believe that childcare teachers are advocates for quality childcare and the young child.
