Philosophy:
Our philosophy is one of inclusion. This means that we will
enroll children of any race, religion or creed. This also includes children with
special needs / conditions or at-risk children. We believe all children deserve
respect and a safe environment to play.
Young children need meaningful experiences. Young children
can learn, want to learn and must learn. The evidence is convincing that the
young years of a child's life set the stage for later life. The aim of our
centre, in an age of rapid change, is to do what we can to help the children
reach their full potential. The future demands self-confidence and an ability
and desire to learn in order to cope with inevitable changes.
We hope to foster the children's intellectual development by
guiding them in an awareness of all basic concepts. Every effort will be made to
help build strong bodies and teach children how to care for their bodies. This
will be accomplished by gross and fine motor activities. The staff will present
themselves as good role models in practicing good health rules. Establishing
goals for all children must come before attempting to make plans.
We will support children as they grow in independence,
learning to function as capable individuals. The teacher decides how much help
to give, allows the children to make decisions and choices and, at the same
time, is responsible for helping each child reach a level of independence
appropriate for him or her.
The child needs to learn to give and share as well as receive
affection. Our centre offers security and love. The child needs to learn to get
along with others. His/her experiences will be happy and the staff will protect
him/her until he/she is ready for social relationships.
A child needs to learn self-control. The staff works towards
the child becoming self-disciplined, self-guided, and self-directed. Each is
helped to learn certain behavior responses and the reasons for them.
The child needs to begin to understand and control his/her physical
world. Our programs is designed to arouse curiosity, thinking, reasoning,
gathering and using information. The children will be provided experiences that
will encourage learning and make it meaningful.
Children need to create. Our aim is to provide an atmosphere
of freedom which is so important if the child is to develop her/his creative
potential. Children are encouraged to try new ways of using materials as we
enjoy the unique and spontaneous manner with which the child uses his/her
imagination.
Our goal is that every child in our
Day Care Centre will live a happy childhood and reach his/her full potential to
become happy, full functioning adults.
