About the Provider

Description: In our infant-toddler and preschool groups we carefully plan a curriculum which provides children with first-hand experiences in an atmosphere of trust and caring. It is the nurturing and satisfying relationships with teachers which establish the foundation for a child's development. The mixed age groups encourage younger children to learn from older ones and older children to nurture those in an earlier stage of development. The daily events of their living together provide the raw materials of our curriculum. The significance of play is supported through the baby's first playful interactions with the teachers, and the older child's pleasure in recreating and understanding the world through dramatic play. Children are offered many opportunities to observe, explore and find answers to their questions. The teachers foster close partnerships with parents in order to provide a unified and harmonious approach to child care.
