Daycare Programs & Staff Development
Programs are re-evaluated regularly to reflect changes to the Child Care and Early Years Act. Weekly themes are created, when possible, to stimulate the children through planned age-appropriate learning experiences. Our monthly newsletter will be sent out explaining upcoming events, themes and special days. Your child will be monitored on an ongoing basis to assess the skills and development areas the children exceed in and the areas we as educators must plan for to enrich our programs. If you would like to discuss your child’s performance at any time, please book an appointment to meet with the class teacher/supervisor.
Our staff participates in a variety of Professional Development workshops to enhance their skills and knowledge as Early Childhood Educators. Our Wee Care team is a member in good standing with Quality First. Our commitment is to work towards high quality environments and interactions for children in our program.
Staff meetings are scheduled to discuss new ideas and to review many areas of our program. .
As a Licensed Child Care facility, we meet and exceed all health and safety requirements set out by the Ministry of Education. We stay current on best practices and regulations in the Early Years throughout our program to promote the wellbeing of our children. Our program staff, volunteers and co-op students will provide a nurturing, healthy and safe learning environment for all children by balancing the diverse needs of each individual family.
Wee Care is committed to offering and supporting ongoing mandatory and voluntary professional learning opportunities. Formal professional learning is vital, but we also understand that the most valuable professional growth happens day to day, as our staff co-learn with the children and each other as self-reflective professionals.
Our educators work together with families to share a mutual understanding about decisions made on behalf of the children. Communication is both cooperative and collaborative. Regular engagement happens with the families through informal documentation, conversations and special events. We embrace opportunities to listen and learn alongside our families and their children. We are committed to open conversations that are always courteous to all parties even if it involves a concern from the family. Together, we will find the best resolution for all parties involved.
