Quadra Child Care

Our program goals are based upon an understanding of the families and children served by the Centre.  Warmth, flexibility and sensitivity toward each child’s needs and individuality is basic to our philosophy.  We believe each child in our care deserves to feel respected, loved and appreciated.  We want the children to feel safe to be themselves and to entrust the teachers with their joys and their challenges.  We believe it is important to touch children; we hug, tickle cuddle and respectfully convey caring appreciation, reassurance, and comfort.  We believe each child deserves to be treated as a unique individual free of gender or any other stereotyping.  We encourage these attitudes in the children as well. 

We work to create a stimulating environment where children can have fun.  This is an environment that encourages curiosity, thinking, exploration, choices and learning; and that also allows space and time for solitude and quiet. Our goal is to enable children to live well and happily in the world with a sense of personal empowerment, confidence, independence and competency, knowing they have the ability to cooperate with their fellow humans.
