Philosophy

• Believes that both children and adults are equals and will always talk to children as such, using a calm tone of voice.  
• Believes in getting down to their level when interacting with them.  
• Will provide children the opportunities to create, learn, explore, and play in their environment.  
• Understands that each child is an individual and will value each child for their interests, personality, strengths, abilities and skills, and will aid them in the continuation of their development.  
• In times when children are having difficulty navigating a situation, will provide support and help guide them through by asking questions to help them come to the conclusion on their own. 
• Believes playing is the best source of learning and days will be filled with lots of it!

Programs and Activities

• Basement area in the home used for play, story times, napping, and both teacher led and child led (free choice) activities.  
• Upstairs area in the home used mainly for eating breakfast, lunch, and an afternoon snack, which will be provided each day.  
• Backyard area has different activities and toys for children to play with as well as plenty of shade to escape the sun.
• Schedule includes: breakfast, outside play (weather pending), teacher led activity, lunch, nap (for those children who require a nap), quiet time and activities until all children are awake from naps, afternoon snack, free choice play time.

Nutrition

• Menu will be posted at the back door for easy access and viewing.  
• There is a four-week rotation to ensure a variety of meals provided.  
• Home cooked, healthy meals, and snacks will be offered each day.
• Philosophy in meal times is that a child will never be forced to eat what is in front of them – if they do not like everything that is offered at one meal time, they only need to eat what they do like – if they are not hungry at that time, food will never be withheld and they can ask for food when they are hungry or wait for snack time.
• Family style eating, sitting at the table, and having conversations, will take place at each meal time.  
• Believes it is important to have this time as a group, after busy play times, to sit and talk with each other.  
• There will be no eating in front of a television at any time.
• If something is required that is not offered, it will be the parents/guardians responsibility to provide that requirement.
