Philosophy

• Believe that all children should be entitled to these basic rights:
  • Relief and protection in all circumstances.
  • Social security to grow and develop in good health.
  • Special protection to develop physically, mentally, socially, and emotionally.
  • Love and understanding in the care of their parents.
  • Name and nationality.
  • To be brought up in a spirit of friendship, among peoples, wherein they can develop their abilities to become the best person they can be.

Programs and Activities

• Takes into account all aspects of the children’s development.
• Believe that while physical, cognitive, social, and emotional needs can be independent; it is only through the development of all, that each child will maximize their potential.
• Program is fun, yet aims to develop the children’s co-ordination, physical fitness, sense of co-operation, and good sportsmanship in physical activities.  
• To supplement the children’s physical development, staff encourage awareness of nutrition and personal hygiene through instruction and example.
•  A number of challenging activities are offered to the children to enhance cognitive development.  
• Children are given opportunities to express their individuality and creativity, especially during dramatic play time (role play) and arts and crafts times.
• Encourage activities that promote independent problem solving in the area of life skills. (eg:  dressing themselves)  
• Staff use every opportunity to speak to the children in a calm and normal tone – believe this, as well as the language used, encourages the children in their development.
• Children are treated as persons – staff take into consideration the fact that each child is different and must be treated accordingly.  
• Program is flexible to allow for a child’s individuality and needs regarding participation.  
• Designated areas in the centre allow for individual space and a minimal amount of disturbance.
