Program Statement

Program Statement

Northlea Community Child Care is committed to providing a quality, nurturing environment that enhances the growth and learning of each child in partnership with the family, the school, and the community.

Effective partnership between parents and educators is the cornerstone of the program. Our program is directed by the philosophy of learning through play. We believe that each child has a unique pattern of interests and skills.  We offer a safe, secure, and stimulating environment which responds to the individual needs of each child and family.

The program at NCCC is guided by the document “How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years 2014” together with the regulations in the “Child Care and Early Years Act 2014” (here-after referred to as CCEYA).

These documents guide program development, pedagogy and practice in the child care setting. These documents, along with the Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT), strengthen the quality of our programs and assures high quality experiences that will lead to positive outcomes in relation to children’s learning, development, health, and well-being.

NCCC believes in providing:

• A co-operative learning environment and open communication between the child care and the school, based upon partnership among children, families, caregivers and educators and the community
• Quality programs which facilitate childhood growth and development in a safe and secure environment
• Highly qualified, committed staff who share in our policy statement and values
• Efficient business operation of the child care in order to ensure long term viability
