As Registered Early Childhood Educators, we see each child as an individual with their own uniqueness; we strive to recognize their uniqueness and special qualities. We believe that children must be nurtured in a warm, happy and safe environment where every child feels comfortable, relaxed, and secure. As well, this environment provides for an enriched learning atmosphere that will challenge the child's insatiable desire to explore, discuss, discover and create.

We encourage:

• Positive reinforcement to build self-confidence so that each child views themselves as a worthwhile being who is accepted, liked and valued for being themselves,
  
  
• Spirit of cooperation among the children and staff to promote sensitivity towards other's needs as well as their own,
  
  
• A sense of responsibility and respect for themselves and each other as well as for the environment,
  
  
• The use of clear verbal communication to express their needs, thoughts and feelings,
  
  
• We aim to support all children including children with exceptional and significant special needs in their development so they are able to reach their full potential.
