Philosophy & Aims
I believe that:
• Every child is an individual who develops at their own rate and should be accepted as a person in their own right
• Children learn through play and “constructive error”
• Children learn through positive interactions with others and first hand experiences experimenting with materials
• Play should be at the heart of our daily routine which reflects the interests and experiences of the children
• I have a commitment to facilitate and foster a warm and accepting relationship with all individuals and families regardless of family structure, ethnic and cultural background
• Child Care is a co-operative task between a provider and family and aims to provide for the child’s needs in an environment of comfort and trust
I aim to:
• Provide a secure, comfortable and interactive environment complementing the home family environment as much as possible and show respect for children’s needs and ideas, and talk with them in caring ways
• Extend children’s current knowledge and abilities
• Ensure children have opportunities and guidance to build a positive self-concept, good self-esteem and feeling of personal worth
