Philosophy

The preschool years are crucial to the healthy growth and development of your child. All experiences a child has, both in and out of the home, influence a child's growth and development.

At the Brockton Child Care Centre our goal is to provide an environment where each child has the opportunity to experience social, emotional, physical and intellectual growth.

We know that play is an important way to support all areas of each child's development.

Our staff works to:

• understand and guide the child's behaviour
• broaden the child's experiences through planned learning which suits the needs of the child
• encourage participation in a wide range of activities, both as an individual and as part of a group
• support all areas of development through play
• help children reach their highest potential
