Discover our Child Care

The Kiddie College Child Care provides a safe, fun and healthy environment for children, to promote their Active Learning and Creative thinking.

Philosophy

The Kiddie College child care provides a safe, fun & healthy environment to children. I believe that children are by nature curious and eager learners. I believe that young children learn best when they experience their environment first hand in play. It is their direct experience in the world with the people, places and objects at hand that spark their innate desire to “find out”, “figure out”, or otherwise solve problems that present themselves throughout the course of every day event. Teachers provide the expert guidance and support for “knowing” how things work and how to successfully live in the world with self and others.

Guidance/ Discipline Statement

Our classrooms provide social learning. We are learning to be friends by caring about each other, sharing and taking turns, playing cooperatively, expressing our feelings, and respecting others while we are taking care of our classroom materials. Teachers interact with children to model these expectations of getting-along.

Here are some of our policies:

Our center’s philosophy of discipline is to provide all children with positive guidance, redirection and the setting of clear limits. The goals of these procedures are to help children develop self-control, self-esteem and respect for the rights of others.

Positive guidance techniques will be used to encourage appropriate behaviour. They include:

  • Children will be positively reinforced in appropriate situations.
  • Children will be given appropriate verbal cues to the transition which will occur, allowing adequate time to conclude activities.
  • Children will be provided with space and individual areas for belongings.
  • Curriculum planning will include a variety of ways children can release their feelings.
  • To assist children in developing respect, self-control, self-confidence, and ultimately, self-discipline and sensitivity their interactions with others.
  • Focusing on the behaviour, rather than on the child
  • Offer choices: Choices must be real choices that are clearly understood by the child & acceptable to both the child and teacher.
  • Stating what is expected, rather than pose questions
  • Reinforce appropriate behaviour, with both words and gestures (Non-verbal praise includes a smile, nod, & a pat on the shoulder.)
  • Encourage children to use the teachers as a resource when they cannot resolve issues on their own.
  • Do not reinforce inappropriate behaviour: If using this method, teacher and parents must work together so that one person is not reinforcing the poor behaviour that others are ignoring.

The Kiddie College is expected to promote healthy eating and nutritional habits.

  • Food is stored in refrigerator between 0 – 4C
  • Parents must make the teacher aware of any food allergy by filling the form.
  • Lunch must be provided by the parent
  • Children are carefully supervised by staff while they are eating.
  • Eating is recorded on each child`s daily report through HiMama App.
  • Morning  and afternoon snacks are planned in accordance with the Canada Food Guide

In order to promote a healthy environment for each child in care, we planned our health care policies & procedures.

 

Too ill to attend

If a child cannot participate in daily activities due to illness, they should stay home until the symptoms have disappeared. These symptoms may include:

  • Fever ( 100 degrees F/38.3 degrees C more)
  • Runny nose and eyes, coughing and sore throat
  • Unexplained Diarrhea
  • Discharge from eyes or ears
  • vomiting
  • rashes

–  Parents will be notified as soon as their child is determined ill.

– The child must remain at home if diagnosed with any contagious disease such as chicken pox,        measles, mumps, rubiola, gastroenteritis, impetigo or conjunctivitis.

– The child may return to the Kiddie College with a doctor`s note confirms that the child is no longer contagious and is ready to return to a group setting.

Medication               

Prescribed and non- prescribed medicine may only be administered by the caregiver if the appropriate permission form is completed and signed. All medication must be given to the caregiver upon arrival. Medication will be stored out of reach of children.

 

Immunizations

Written record of each child’s immunizations must be on file. Children’s immunizations should be kept up to date.

 

Allergy

It is the parent’s responsibility to inform teacher of their child allergy. You must fill the allergy form and check all symptoms your child has experienced.
