Garside Day Care Inc.

Philosophy:

 

Garside Day Care Centre attempts to provide a positive learning environment for your child that enhances his or her level of development.  Through play experiences and the guidance of specially trained staff, your child will be exposed to situations that will stimulate: 

• curiousity

• initiative, and independence

• self-esteem

• decision-making capabilities

• interaction with and respect for others

• physical activity developing gross motor skills

• communication skills

• fine motor development

• Spiritual development (grace before meals, Bible Stories and Sunday school songs).

Garside Day Care Centre has a play based program and incorporates the document "How Does Learning Happen" into our curriculum.
