As childcare providers we hope to provide a variety of early experiences to enhance the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of the children through play.  Our programming incorporates both structured and unstructured activities, but each child can make their own decision to participate in these activities.

Guidelines and rules are required so that the daycare operates safely and smoothly for the benefit of the children. Also the
regulations outlined by the Early Learning and Childcare Branch must be adhered to. As childcare providers we hope to provide a
variety of early experiences to enhance the physical, social, emotional and intellectual development of the children through
play. Our programming incorporates both structured and unstructured activities, but each child can make their own decision
to participate in these activities.

Melfort Daycare Co-Operative’s Philosophy is to:

• Place priority on making everyone (parents, children and other agencies) feel welcome and comfortable.

• Provide a safe, caring atmosphere for children away from home.

• Guide and direct children in a daily program.

• Respect each child and their emotions.

• Respect the property of the child, staff and the Daycare, respectively.

• Help develop a child who is a proud and valuable member of the community

• Assist children in developing self-discipline and to encourage independence and self-confidence.

• Provide each child with the opportunity for positive, physical, intellectual, emotional and social development.

• Consider the diverse backgrounds of the families we serve, aware of and respect cultural differences, religious beliefs and socio- economic positions.

• We believe that all children, regardless of their physical, emotional or social abilities, have the right and should be offered the opportunity to take part in our program.
