Philosophy

• Believes every child is entitled to be given the opportunity to develop personal responsibility and social skills.
• Believes every child deserves a safe, warm, and caring environment (a place where children thrive and want to be), in which to grow and develop to their maximum potential.
• Each child is recognized as a unique individual who brings their own abilities to the program and deserves to be given the encouragement and space to try new things, explore new ideas, and develop their own unique creativity.
• Aims to provide a warm, nurturing, and stimulating environment that contributes to the child’s intellectual, social, emotional, and physical growth.
  • You and your family are at the heart of everything the child care provider does.
• Provides an environment of caring, integrity, experience, and dedication to their job.
• The heart of the program is love – love, combined with a secure, nurturing, developmentally appropriate educational environment.

• Age appropriate activities are scheduled with the flexibility allowed to respond to the needs of each individual child and their various ages.
• Daily program of activities adopts and adapts the vision and principles of Play and Exploration: Early Learning Program Guide and Emergent Curriculum – through this vision and principles, the daily program hopes to promote:
  • Children as competent learners.
  • Holistic learning and development.
  • Balance in a child’s social, emotional, physical, intellectual and spiritual growth.

• Parents/guardians are responsible for feeding your child if they arrive after the set meal time.
• Will try to accommodate children with allergies, but in some cases may ask you to provide food for your child.
• Parents are required to provide all foods and formula for infants until the child is able to eat regular table food.
