Program Statement
At Talented Tinkers Childcare Centre, we have designed our program on the How Does Learning Happen Ontario’s Pedagogy, which is aligned with the Child Care and Early Year’s Act, 2014. Our program follows a play-based learning approach that allows children to follow their interests, make sense of the world around them, and engage in hands-on learning and collaborative play. Our program is designed to allow children to learn and develop valuable skills that support their social, physical, emotional, and cognitive development. We strive to nurture each child’s natural desire for knowledge and equip them with the skills they need for the next stages of their life.
We strongly believe every child is a unique, competent, and independent individual with their own thinking process. Therefore, our program focuses on allowing the children in our care to follow their own interests and progress at their own pace. To promote individual child abilities, developmental needs, and strength to reach potential in the early stages of the child’s life, we encourage and emphasize the continuity of quality care at our childcare center setting by understanding that each child is unique and that they grow up in families with diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives. We believe that each child should get an opportunity to freely explore their surroundings in a carefully planned and inclusive learning environment. A wide variety of open-ended play materials and indoor/outdoor activities will be planned so the children at the center can freely use their skills, imagination, and abilities to support their exploration and inquiry and reach their full potential.
Furthermore, at Talented Tinkers Childcare Centre, we strongly value the diversity of the families in our care and strive to make our program inclusive to all. We strive to create a welcoming, safe, inclusive, educational, and inviting space for all children to learn, play and grow. We strongly believe that every child is important, equal, and deserving of respect, love, and quality childcare. Therefore, we work hard to ensure that our program is age-appropriate and inclusive to all children’s needs. At Talented Tinkers Childcare Centre, we strive to develop positive relationships between children, Staff, and Parents. We believe it is important to build inclusive and positive relationships to promote quality of care. To enhance communication, our program strives in making sure there is constant positive daily communication and the exchange of information between families and the staff regarding their child at the centre.
At Talented Tinkers Childcare Centre, we strongly believe that all our staff including Program Staff and Supervisor are competent and capable, caring, and rich in experience. They are knowledgeable, caring, reflective, and resourceful professionals. We believe that each staff member brings diverse social, cultural, and linguistic perspectives to create engaging environments and experiences to foster children’s learning and development.
