Personal Child Care Philosophy: EVERY CHILD SHOULD BE MADE TO FEEL SPECIAL!

•Children are unique individuals that develop at their own pace • Early childhood (first 3 years) is the period of greatest developmental strides in emotional, physical, social and cognitive growth. The care and education they receive at this age will largely determine the healthy development and well-being of the child in the future. • All children need to feel valued and treated with respect • Children need a safe, nurturing and responsive environment, where their physical needs are met and they are made to feel secure • Parents need to have peace of mind that their

children are being well cared for in their absence.
