Philosophy

• ​Strives to meet the developmental and individual needs of each child while taking into consideration their interests and how each child learns through daily experiences .
• Believe that being sensitive of each child’s development and interests leads the way to holistic programming, environments, and experiences.  
• Believe children progress through various stages of development based on their age, experiences, and how they interact in the environments around them.
• Believe it is important that children are provided with environments, experiences, and opportunities that will enhance holistic learning as the Early Childhood Educators observe and reflect throughout the day.
• Centre works in partnership with parents/guardians through daily conversations, emails, and information boards.

Programs and Activities

• Centre balances play-based programming with adult led activities and experiences. For example, Early Childhood Educators may have an invitation based on the children’s interest of insects.
• Children are free to explore and create in any area of their assigned groups. 
• Centre takes into consideration the ages and developmental levels of each child, providing additional support or adaptations to the activities and environments in each group.
• Programming, environments, invitations, and experiences take into consideration the interests and developmental levels of the children.
• Children go outside on a daily basis. (taking into consideration weather conditions)
• Centre provides a variety of activities that are age appropriate and enhances exploration.

Nutrition

• Provides highly nutritious snacks and meals on a daily basis taking into consideration all the requirements and recommendations of the Canada Food Guide and the Ministry of Education – Early Years Branch.
• Believe nutrition plays a crucial role in the healthy development and well being of all children.
• Provide two snacks – each one requires them to serve a fruit or vegetable and one other food group.
• Provide a lunch that includes all four food groups and is sensitive to the new Canada Food Guide by adding more plant based foods.
• Centre accommodates special diets to the best of their ability. For example, a child on a vegan diet will be served a homemade veggie burger on a day where beef burgers are served.
• If a child has a specific diet that needs to be followed a family may be required to provide food from home – this is the only exception allowed for families to bring food from home.
