Philosophy

Growing Minds Child Care Centre offers a safe, accessible and affordable child care program for children 3 months to 12 years of age. Our Philosophy is based on the premise that child care should be an extension of the home, providing a warm and caring environment.

We believe that children can learn and grow when provided with a stimulating environment and we provide warm and caring individuals to offer guidance, as well as a creative program within set limits.

We encourage age appropriate, non-sexist, non-competitive and creative programming allowing children freedom of choice and an opportunity to learn independence, responsibility and develop a positive self-concept.

We believe in mutual respect and each child is treated as a respected individual.

Parents/Guardians are the most important people in children’s lives; as such they are highly encouraged to spend quality time with their children both at home and in our Child Care Facility.
