Philosophy

• Committed to providing quality and affordable child care services to families in the community and surrounding area from infants to school age children.
• Strives to provide the highest quality program through the care and interactions between children and their teachers through play and through the many daily activities that are offered at Churchbridge Daycare.

Programs and Activities

• Believe that during the early years, children learn best through a play based curriculum – a play based curriculum is a carefully planned environment that is both stimulating and exciting, which has teachers who support children as they explore their environment, who talk with them and who extend their play with questions and ideas. 
• Believe that children grow as individuals and learn best through play and through the opportunity to explore the world around them; children thrive when they have the opportunity to emerse themselves in the activities that interest them. 
• Churchbridge Daycare creates a daily routine that allows for the optimum amount of time a child needs to build, create and play.
• Encourages the development of, and appreciation for, the individual while learning to be part of a group, as well as the child’s natural curiosity and broaden all aspects of his/her development. 
• Encourages independence and self-confidence, helps the child develop self-regulation, provides a home like environment and ensures all children are treated equally and included in every activity.  

Nutrition

• Children are served a morning snack at 9:00 AM, lunch at 12:00 PM and an afternoon snack at 3:00 PM (for the younger children) or at 3:30 PM for the after school children – milk and water are available during these times, water is available throughout the day.
• Children are encouraged to try the foods offered, but are not forced to eat – children can decide how much of the foods offered they want to eat. 
• Children and Staff Members wash their hands before each snack and meal, and good manners are expected during meal times.
• If parents request that the Staff Members feed their children breakfast when arriving at the daycare before 9:00 AM, they will gladly do so. 
• Parents must inform Staff Members of any food allergies/sensitivities that a child has – parents are responsible to inform the Staff Members if their child has a change in their food allergy/sensitivity – separate meals will only be provided if the child has a food allergy/sensitivity to the food that is being served on that day.
• Daycare is not required to provide baby formula or baby food for infants, or meals and snacks for a child who requires a special diet or whose parent requests a special diet.
