Your child(ren) are special to us too. The HUB teachers know that each child is an individual and develop at their own pace. We understand that nature and nurture influences children, and the adults they will become. Their individual family life experiences make them the individuals they are, and allows them to think and interact in their own unique way. At The HUB we understand that children learn through play. Play is enjoyable, spontaneous, active, and allows children to explore the world through their eyes. Children are self-learners and do not require an adult to choose what or how they will learn, but rather provide interesting activities and engage in play and learn with the children. Adults who support children through caring and responsive, positive relationships in a developmentally appropriate learning environment will allow a child to feel a sense of belonging, well-being and engagement. We believe this will allow children to freely explore and express themselves.

We follow the procedures below when planning our environment and activities: • Safe supervision of children at all times. • Child protection procedures and training. • Sanitation and disinfection procedures. • Menu planning following the Canada Food Guide. • Communicable disease prevention. • Emergency procedures. • Standard First Aid and CPR training for all educators and caregivers. Our View of the Caregiver/Educator The HUB believes that the caregivers/educators and other adults are critical in the child’s life. They support and set the stage for lifelong learning. Their role in a child’s life is to support them to learn how to interact effectively with the world around them, other children, adults and the environment. Providing the supports for self-regulation is critical and each child is unique in the ability to master these skills. Our caregivers/educators set the following approaches in practice for positive interactions among children: • Caregivers/educators provide small group experiences that allow for more individualized adult attention. • Caregivers/educators role model inclusive, respectful, and collaborative interactions with children and other adults • Caregivers/educators ensure the learning environment is flexible so they can respond in the moment, build, and expand the child’s interest and learning opportunities. • Care givers ensure toys, equipment and materials are appropriate and available for all children. • Children make the choices with freedom in the environment. • Caregivers/educators engage as a play partner with children, role modelling pro-social skills including expanding discussion enriching language, problem solving when conflict arises, educators reflect and understand how their actions effects the children. Those caregivers/educators who have their ECE Certification and maintain their standing as registered, are supported and encouraged through the College of ECE to continue with their own continuous professional learning and to develop a plan that works for them to set short and long-term learning outcomes.

Their individual family life experiences make them the individuals they are, and allows them to think and interact in their own unique way. At The HUB we understand that children learn through play. Play is enjoyable, spontaneous, active, and allows children to explore the world through their eyes. Children are self-learners and do not require an adult to choose what or how they will learn, but rather provide interesting activities and engage in play and learn with the children. Adults who support children through caring and responsive, positive relationships in a developmentally appropriate learning environment will allow a child to feel a sense of belonging, well-being and engagement. We believe this will allow children to freely explore and express themselves. We believe this develops the child’s own abilities in competence, capacity, and curiosity is maximized allowing them to reach their full potential. We incorporate indoor and outdoor play, as well as active play, rest and quiet time into the day, and give consideration to individual needs of child(ren) receiving child care.

Their role in a child’s life is to support them to learn how to interact effectively with the world around them, them including other children, adults and the environment. Providing the supports for self-regulation is critical and each child is unique in the ability to master these skills. Caring, consistent relationships with educators and adults, provide the external supports that serves as the basis for developing self-regulation.
