Daycare description / philosophy

Statement of Philosophy:
At The Open Door, we believe that:
CHILDREN are unique individuals with special gifts, talents and abilities. We strive to provide an environment that fosters positive emotional, social, cognitive, physical and spiritual development, through providing a variety of activities that incorporate all learning styles and personalities. We believe that all children are a gift from God and will be treated as equals regardless of race, gender, culture or creed.
FAMILIES are entitled to be involved in a meaningful way in their child care experience. We view our relationship with the parents/guardians as a partnership, one that will enable us to provide high quality care for their children while they are involved in work commitments, educational and/or personal fulfillment or while child care is part of a care plan for a family. By respecting family values and sharing information, we will work together for the good of the child.
OUR STAFF are qualified professionals that are entitled to work in an environment which recognizes and respects their training, skills and commitment to child care. The staff is committed to following the example of Jesus Christ, valuing children and showing love to all people irrespective of their background, culture or creed.
An ENVIRONMENT that is safe, fun and educational will be provided for the children and their families. This means meeting and exceeding the standards of health and safety that licensing sets forth. It also means that discovery learning and play will be encouraged and enjoyed with the children.
THE CENTRE is a family focused centre and desires to be a support and resource to the families in our community, by providing a caring, supportive and vital community service.
