About the Provider

Advertisement
At PPNS, we provide children with a rich learning environment. They are free to make choices in ways that do not infringe upon the freedom or safety of others, or show disrespect for the environment. Allowing freedom with clearly defined limits helps children to become more secure and use their personal knowledge to make their own decisions.

We focus on helping children understand and control themselves. In working toward this goal, we guide them by respecting their integrity, understanding their needs and setting limits when necessary. We believe that effective limits are few, firm, and fair.

We prefer indirect adult guidance that allows children to find their own solutions. When health or safety measures call for direct intervention, we are aware of their needs and try to treat them with respect while keeping them safe.

Realizing we are role models to the children, we maintain respectful relationships with them. We believe children should be treated with respect, understanding, gentleness, and sincerity. In addition to listening to them speak, we need to look beyond the children‟s actions to understand their feelings and underlying circumstances causing their behavior. We encourage, guide, and help children by letting them know that we trust them, care about them, and will be there when they need us.

Common questions

The answers people ask us for most often.

How do I contact a provider I found here?

In most cases the provider’s direct number is included in their listing. When it is not, we list the number of the Child Care Licensing Program — you may call that number for more information, or search for the provider online.

Will ChildcareCenter pass a message on to a provider for me?

No. ChildcareCenter only provides information, so enrolment questions, tuition questions and job enquiries need to go to the provider directly using the contact details on their listing. We cannot forward them and we cannot share contact details a provider has not published.

I run a daycare — how do I correct or remove my listing?

Use suggest an update on your listing to correct any detail, or claim the listing to manage it yourself. If you have closed or no longer provide care, contact us and we will update the listing to show that.
