Fraser Heights Out of School Care #2 / Smarties

Our program is committed to nurturing and guiding children. We will provide an environment that fosters security, trust, comfort and strives to give a balance of activities that help children to grow and develop socially, emotionally, physically and cognitively. The program respects and values differences recognizing that children are individuals and that every child is unique. We will provide a safe, secure and stimulating environment for all children. We will provide opportunities for children to explore and investigate their world, as well as to communicate with both their peers and adults. We have developed a program that fosters an accepting, tolerant, flexible attitude towards others and teaches respect for the natural environment. The children will learn how to cooperate in a group, to share, to problem solve in their relationships with peers, and in this way develop a positive self—image. By providing a structured, yet flexible program, the children develop these skills through their activities. Parents/guardians are an important part of the program. We have an open door policy and welcome parents/guardians to visit at any time.
