Philosophy

Based on the premise that good daycare is more than just "babysitting", the program of activities must be directed to specific goals, as determined by a "daycare philosophy".  It should be the goal of a good daycare program to encourage and facilitate a child's development in all areas of life.  It is the intention of this philosophy to state our goals and the means to which they are attained. 

Preston Avenue Daycare believes that the environment children are in, during the day should be one that is rich in warmth and love with the emphasis on co-operation, courtesy , nurturing, security and non-violence.  Stimulating experiences that enhance the development of our children, by providing for their individuality, natural curiosities and every day life experiences are an important aspect of the daycare philosophy, as well.

We believe that all children should be entitled to these basic rights:

  1. Relief and protect in all circumstances.
  2. Social security to grow and develop in good health.
  3. Special protection to develop physically, mentally, socially and emotionally.
  4. Love and understanding in the care of his/her parents.
  5. Name and nationality.
  6. To be brought up in a spirit of friendship, among peoples, wherein  he/she can develop his/her abilities to become the best person he/she can be.

As parents and staff we believe that the best care can be offered to the children of our daycare by our co-operation with one another.  Only when parents become and remain involved in the daycare's activities can meaningful links be established between home and daycare.  These links, in turn, enhance the individual development of each child.
