    Information for Parents

    Established relationships with parents means we can share information positively and effectively to support children as much as possible.

      Hours of Operation

      Eligible hours of care are based on parent's working hours plus one half hour for picking up of your child. For example: If your working or school hours are 9:00am-4:30pm then your eligible hours of care are 8:30am-5:00pm.

      Clothing

      Exploration often requires getting messagey! All of the materials that we use are washable however, we are aware that some paint colours and other materials are difficult to fully remove.

      Nutrition

      Children are encouraged to taste a variety of foods but no child is ever forced to eat foods that they do not wish to. All parts of the meal make up a child's nutritional requirement; therefore no food will be withheld.

    Parent Resources

    The Parent Handbook provides new parents with an understanding of the mission, philosophy, policies, and procedures followed at our centre.

    Children need healthy, wholesome foods

    Healthy Nutrition for Growing Children

    The three week rotating menu is planned according to the Food Guide and recommendations from our local Public Health Unit. All food is cooked with consideration of maintaining its full nutritional value. The centre provides a morning and afternoon snack and a midday lunch. Our standards exceed the following guidelines:

    Fruits

    Vegetables

    Grains

    Understanding children’s behavior

    Behavior Guidance

    Positive and consistent techniques should be used to encourage children whose play actions are both appropriate and inappropriate.

    Preferred Practices

    • Positive verbal and gestural reinforcement for appropriate behaviour, redirection of inappropriate behaviour

    • One verbal request (ensuring understanding) followed by gentle physical assistance

    • Teaching and practicing of preferred behaviours in order to help children habituate skills and learn self discipline

    • Offering children age appropriate choices and assisting them to follow through

    Prohibited Practices

    • Corporal punishments of any child (spanking, hitting, shaking, etc.)

    • Deliberate harsh or degrading measures that would humiliate a child or undermine a child's self respect (threatening, verbal abuse, yelling, etc.)

    • Deprivation of basic needs (food, clothing, shelter, bedding etc)

    • Confining in a locked room

    • Locking the exits of the Child Care Centre for the purpose of confining
