We believe that in order to develop their highest potential, we need to provide an environment that promotes positive attitudes to learning. We wish to provide a relaxed, safe and caring environment where children can have fun through participating in a diverse range of age appropriate yet stimulating activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We believe in supporting the individual needs of all children and families, therefore we value the input of parents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We strive to provide a program with group play, free play and individual activities so children have an opportunity to interact with staff and peers as well as have some self-time to \u201cunwind\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>We aim to provide children and their families with a centre in which they will feel comfortable, secure and happy.<\/li><li>We encourage understanding of the diversity in all families and children.<\/li><li>We provide an environment that is stimulating, creative, relevant and educational, as well as fun.<\/li><li>We provide children with valuable play activities in which they are freeto make choices, work as individuals or as part of a group within set limits.
