Philosophy

• Vision is for each child to be recognized as a unique and capable individual.
• Mission is to provide unique family orientated childcare, integrated within the community.
• Most of all, Kid Kare provides a place where children have fun, are safe, feel safe, and where their parents feel comfortable and welcome.

Programs and Activities

• Children have opportunities to express themselves in many forms of play and group activities.
• Activities such as crafts, circle time, dramatic and gross motor play are incorporated into each classroom’s daily program plan.
• Co-operation and personal achievement are promoted and celebrated.  
• Children are encouraged to participate in groups and learn how to communicate with one another in a positive manner.
• Monthly themes are incorporated within the daycare to offer a unique and educational experience for the kids. 
• Centre focuses on S.P.L.I.C.E., which means they work to develop the whole child – S.P.L.I.C.E stands for the social, physical, linguistic, intellectual, creative, and emotional aspects of a child’s development. 
• Are a play and exploration based centre, which means that when teaching the children, they do it through playing.
• There is no screen time in the facility.
• Nap time is from 12:30 pm to 2:45 pm for the younger children – older children who do not nap have quiet time that involves activities such as puzzles, cards, board games, and colouring.
• Outdoor play is an integral part of their program as they believe fresh air is important in keeping children relaxed and healthy.  
• Children will not be taken outside when the temperature is below -25 degrees Celsius – for temperatures above 25 degrees Celsius, with a UV rating above six, children will be taken outside only for short periods of time – Rosetown Kid Kare Inc. provides sunscreen and bug spray for children and parents must sign a release form allowing the use of sunscreen and bug spray – in the case of allergies, parents are responsible for informing staff and providing alternate sunscreen or bug spray for individual use.
• Parents may be asked to assist with supervising the children on outings like field trips to somewhere in the community. (example: park, museum) 

Nutrition

• Centre provides a morning snack at 9:30 am, lunch at 12:00 pm, and an afternoon snack at 3:00 pm, which are prepared according to Canada’s Food Guide.
• Each class eats as a group and uses it as a real life learning situation in which a variety of social and self-help skills can be learned. 
• Children are encouraged, never forced, to try all foods on their plates – children are never forced to finish their food, nor is food ever used as a reward or punishment.
• Parents need to notify the Director and Cook about any known allergies or special diets your child may have – If the child needs a special diet, the parent will be asked to bring in food – allergies should be noted on the medical form. 
• Day care is a nut free facility – no food containing nuts is allowed on premises including personal snacks i.e. granola bars for kids.
