Our Mission
To support and develop children’s strengths and potential through a child-centred learning environment, inspired by diversity and driven by children and families.
Our Philosophy
Our philosophy is based on the belief that children are curious and eager learners by nature, and that children learn best when they experience their environment first hand in play. It is their direct experiences in the world, with the people, places, and objects at hand, that spark their desire to “find out”, “figure out” or otherwise solve problems that present themselves through the course of everyday events.
Our Vision
Our vision is to be the recognized leader in providing the best care for infants, toddler, preschool and school age children. Known for our exceptional educational programs and knowledgeable Educators, we pride ourselves on our unique blend of fun and learning in a safe and nurturing environment.
Our Purpose
Our purpose is to enhance the development of all children in attendance by providing exceptional educational programs utilizing the ‘Play-Based Learning’ philosophy. Through a parent and professional partnership, our play-based environment will enable each child to reach their full potential with emphasis on creativity and exploration. All Early Childhood Educators support the principles of Early Childhood Education by providing an environment that implements the following values:
-
Each child is an important individual
-
Each child develops at a different rate and in individual ways
-
Children learn through play, personal experiences, and everyday routines
-
Children learn best in an atmosphere of trust and encouragement
-
Promoting positive self-awareness is crucial to learning
-
Programs are carefully planned and based on observations of each child's interests and interactions
-
Programs must be responsive to the child's uniqueness and be presented at the child's developmental level
-
Programs enhance each child’s feeling of competence, independence, and self-worth
-
Early Childhood Educators adhere to creating an environment that reflects and affirms the cultural diversity of families within the centre
-
Early Childhood Educators work in partnership with Parent/Guardian(s), recognizing that they have primary responsibility for the care of their child, valuing their commitment to their child and supporting them in meeting their responsibilities to their child
-
Early Childhood Educators work in partnership with their colleagues and demonstrate integrity in their professional relationships
-
Early Childhood Educators remain current with research and emerging best practices in child care and implement their findings into everyday practices
