In accepting the responsibility for caring of children in our centre, we aim:
To provide a safe, secure, stimulating, educational and challenging environment in a home-like atmosphere that promotes the development of healthy, happy children.
To provide a play-based program, offering each child a selection of creative activity opportunities, both indoor and outdoor, to enhance growth in their cognitive, physical, social and emotional development.
To provide an environment that allows children to gain a sense of autonomy in order to become independent thinkers, achievers and decision and choices makers.
To provide a friendly secure place that meets each individual's needs and interests, in order to enable children to reach their full potential.
To provide a school readiness program with special school related skills such as recognizing their names, learning colours and shapes and exercising fine motor skills like manipulating play materials and cutting
with scissors.
To keep and maintain an observation record for each child in every developmental area; to evaluate their progress; and to plan follow-up challenging activities which address the child's weakness in certain areas
and develop their strengths.
Through positive reinforcement children will be able to develop problem solving skills. To provide continued exposure to differences in cultural and economic background and thus develop and enhance tolerance of
