OUR PROGRAM  

The program at New Fun Land is based on Emergent Curriculum. The ideas for our environment, equipment, activities and planned learning experiences come from the children themselves.  We learn about the interests of the children in our care in order to promote learning with fun and engaging activities. The program is developmentally appropriate for all children. The environment will be warm, caring, and supportive using equality and respect as the foundation to a healthy social environment. Educators will treat all children equal and respect each one as an individual.  We will do this by giving children choices, encouraging them to solve their own problems and to take ownership and responsibility within their environment. This approach creates mutual respect, builds self-esteem and self-control. When mutual respect is instilled, the centre becomes a safe, understanding, and compassionate place for everyone involved.

​

STATEMENT OF PHILOSOPHY  

Children are unique, active learners with inborn intelligence that develops gradually.  We offer opportunities for development in all areas; social, intellectual, language, emotional and physical.  We provide an environment with enough scope to meet the needs of children at various levels of development.  Through stimulating activities and exposure to interesting materials and equipment, your child should become more confident, learn to communicate more effectively, to explore, solve problems and become more independent. 

​

Our programs offer flexible daily schedules that include music, physical activity, outdoor time, literacy, art, science, math, free play, as well as small and large group-structured activities.

​

Our centres provide a loving, caring and responsive atmosphere for your child.  Educators are available to meet the needs of each child at all times.  Children will enjoy the process of learning through a fun-filled day.

GOALS AND OBJECTIVES 

The primary goal of the child care centre is to provide quality early learning and child care services with an emphasis on enhancing children’s physical, emotional, intellectual, and social development.  The program provides an environment and experiences that will allow your child to thrive. We strive to meet the following goals, as well as many others.
