Philosophy
- Follow a national curriculum, “Playing to Learn.”
- Children learn through play and educators provide guidance and stimulation to allow independent choices and the freedom to explore.
- Encourage language development, problem solving and decision making, with emphasis on the verbalization of feelings, thoughts, and ideas.
- Have two basic rules, “Be Kind” and “Be Safe.”
- An open communication policy between educators and families -communication is encouraged and no comment, concern, or question is considered too small or unimportant.
- Believe the parent has the right to have input on what happens in their child’s centre.
Programs and Activities

- Educators observe children and then plan weekly activities based on the children’s interests.
- Activities are planned to encourage development in the four developmental areas. (Motor Skills, Language & Literacy, Math & Science, Arts)

- Activities are offered throughout the day; children are encouraged to join but not required to.
- Invitations and activities are left out all day for the children to explore.
- Culturally diverse and try to incorporate it into the centre and classrooms through displays, activities, and discussions.
