Philosophy / Mission Statement:
Tapawingo Day Care will operate as an inclusive childcare
facility dedicated to the care of young children aged 18 months to 10 years of
age.
Recognizing the uniqueness of each child and respecting
their diverse needs and individual stages of development, our staff will work
together with parents and the community to provide a positive learning
environment.
Through educational, social and play experiences as well as the guidance of
specially trained staff each child will be exposed to situations planned to
stimulate and enhance: 1. Curiosity, initiative and independence; 2.
Self-esteem and decision making capabilities; 3. Interaction with and respect
for others; 4. Physical activity developing gross motor skills; 5. Communication
skills; and 6. Fine motor development.
Programs will be re-evaluated regularly to reflect
changes within the Day Nurseries Act and ideologies of early childhood education
and enhancement.
