We believe children can achieve optimal learning and growth in an environment which is caring, supportive, fun and challenging. We value each child in their journey of emotional, physical and cognitive development and recognize the uniqueness of each child and nurture their talents and abilities.
Our Daycare Centre is designed to create an environment of trust, where each child feels safe and secure both physically and emotionally. The Centre is a learning place where social and intellectual growth occur as each child experiences him or herself in relationship to others and the environment, through play.
In a safe and trusting environment each child will learn to recognize, respect and support the rights of others. Each child has the right to move at his or her own pace and to develop at an individual rate.
By being provided with an atmosphere which is friendly, supportive, accepting and positive, each child will have the freedom to make decisions and choices, thus developing self-confidence and self-reliance.
We believe that daily doses of hugs, humor and smiles, together with continuing individual attention, will keep our Centre a safe and friendly place.

Children pass through sensitive periods of development early in life. Dr. Montessori described the child's mind between the time of birth and six years of age as the 'absorbent mind'. It is during this stage that a child has a tremendous ability to learn and assimilate from the world around him, without conscious effort. During this time, children are particularly receptive to certain external stimuli. A Montessori teacher recognizes and takes advantage of these highly perceptive stages through the introduction of materials and activities which are specially designed to stimulate the intellect.
