Childspace Learning Centre believes that play is child's work. That exploration, creativity and a healthy balance is crucial to positive development.
The child's mind, body and spirit should be honoured and respected. A child should be given choices whenever possible, and be able to express themselves and be accepted with respect and consideration for their expanding mind and intelligence.
Childspace Learning Centre will offer them the safe space and freedom of opportunities to learn, develop, create, explore, ponder and question their world to make sense of it.
Children have the right to a calm space, and calm adults to ensure they begin to regulate their own emotions.
Children have the right to express their emotions, and have their emotional needs met.
Behaviour is communication. It is the adult's role to listen and interpret what the child is communicating, and to respond to their needs.
Children should have access to clean, healthy food options that nourish their body and their growth.
Children should be offred a variety of developmental and creative activities to help them learn about the world around them.
Children should have opportunities to enjoy and respect nature.
Children should be respected and recognized as unique and intelligent beings with their own developing personalities.
Children develop at their own rates; we do not compare one child to another.
