Philosophy |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Champlain Daycare Services is a place where children are able to take in many of life’s experiences. All educational material is available to children whom, with a little help from teachers, choose those activities which will further their social, cognitive, physical and emotional development. We offer a plethora of activities which will appeal to children in this age range and based on the Ministry of Education’s guide *How does Learning happen?*. Our programming steers the child into learning, waiting his turn, putting things away, sharing objects, listening to instructions and respecting friends during the time spent among us. This service aims to promote a positive environment and to stimulate the child’s curiosity, develop autonomy, respect for peers and adults, language, physical condition as well as intellect. All this development is done through various activities, namely: crafts, painting, and books, outside play, puzzles and board games, music, psychomotricity as well as other means. |
