Philosophy

Our objectives are guided by our belief that children should...

  • Be safe and happy
  • Develop a positive and secure sense of themselves as people worthy of love and respect.
  • Develop a sense of themselves as powerful learners and achievers.
  • Develop a sense of themselves as creative and imaginative people.
  • Develop a respect for sensitivity to other, i.e. empathy, a sense of community, an absence of sexism, racism and other biases.
  • Develop a sense of self-control.
  • Develop a capacity for self-expression.
  • Develop a respect for the world of things i.e.: for property, beauty and order
  • Have relaxed, happy days. In their interactions with children,

Our staff will strive to...

  • Provide a warm, secure and comfortable environment.
  • Provide a safe and healthy environment.
  • Respect, appreciate and care for children as individuals.
  • Respect and accept each child at his or her best or worst.
  • Provide a learning environment designed to enhance each child's development in all areas.
  • Encourage children's independence and self-control.
  • Encourage and allow children to take responsibility.
  • Allow children autonomy and privacy.
