Our Mission and Values
 |
We provide service to children with confidentiality, empathy, dignity and respect in a safe, warm and caring environment. The programs promote the total development of each individual child through consistent, guided learning activities in the six dimensions of wellness. These dimensions are: physical, social, cognitive, emotional, occupational and spiritual. |
We believe:
- that the atmosphere of the centre must be warm, friendly and cheerful
- that a healthy and safe environment is conducive to learning and development for both child and staff
- in being flexible to meet parents' needs for education and employment
- that children learn through play
- that each child and his/her family have the right to privacy and confidentiality
- in inclusive care for all, regardless of abilities, race, creed or financial status
- in care that encompasses the physical, social, emotional, intellectual, occupational and spiritual needs of each child to promote life long skills
- that continuing professional development of staff is vital to meeting the ever changing needs of children and their families
- that staff teach and encourage children to function at the best of their abilities, valuing the uniqueness of each child
- that appropriate, positive intervention is necessary so that children learn to accept the consequence for their actions
- that daily routines are necessary so that children acquire life long skills
- that free play (unstructured learning activities) is necessary so that children learn to make choices for themselves within boundaries laid out by an adult.
