| Play |
Our curriculum promotes play as a major learning process. Play is vital to young children’s daily lives and enhances their development. Play is a powerful way for children to add to their knowledge, develop new skills and cultivate friendships. Play also promotes peer learning through discovery and exploration of their world. Our play includes any early learning experience that children freely choose allowing them children to guide and direct their own learning Our early childhood professionals support children in their play.
Our curriculum supports and encourages the emotional, social, cognitive, creative and physical growth and development of each child. Our curriculum includes early learning experiences, play materials, physical environments, flexible daily schedules, routines and most importantly the people that are a part of our centre.
The development of our curriculum is based on understanding the children by observing, interacting, recording and reflecting upon the children’s daily experiences. We base the curriculum on the children’s interests, individual backgrounds, needs, abilities, along with parent input and parent goal setting. We also incorporate the outcomes of developmental screens on weekly planning sheets and monthly calendars. As this is an evolving process, throughout the day early childhood professionals modify the environment and learning experiences.
Early childhood professional’s plan and provide daily early learning experiences that support and
promote each child’s physical, emotional, social, creative and cognitive development.
Children’s growth and developmental milestones are linked to certain ages but each child will reach a milestone at his/her own pace. Each child’s growth and development depends on a combination of nature (what he/she is born with), nurture (what he/she experiences) and cultural influences. Early childhood professionals apply the knowledge that the stages of physical, social, emotional, creative and cognitive development of each child is different. Early childhood professionals carefully plan and implement early learning experiences to meet a child’s individual needs and progress.
