Creative Minds Early Learning Centre

At Creative Minds Early Learning Centre the community is curriculum.  The forest, the plants, animals and rocks, the materials in and outside of the classroom, children, parents, staff and community members, all bring elements that enliven this community. The curriculum is responsive and co-creative when we respect all that is here.  We do this by listening care-fully.

1. We recognize and respect the diversity of families as well as the care-giving and decision-making roles of parents.

2. We believe in the partnership between families and caregivers and support community involvement.

3. We believe in providing high quality play situations to empower children to be active in the learning process.

4. We are committed to providing high quality child care by offering a safe and nurturing environment where appropriate practices are used.

5. We ensure that all interactions with children are conducted with care and respect. We take into account the child’s family, health and other social issues.

6. We believe employees are entitled to a working environment that recognizes and respects training, skills and commitment to child care and that demonstrates this through respectful communication and personnel policies.
