Your Child Is in Great Hands
Philosophy
The St. George’s School Age Child Care Programme (also referred to the Programme, or St. George's SACCP) provides a safe, warm and caring environment within a relaxed atmosphere. Our objective is to deliver high quality programming that is dedicated to supporting children’s learning, development, health and well-being. Children are viewed as competent, capable, curious and rich in potential.
The Programme follows “How Does Learning Happen? Ontario Pedagogy for the Early Years”, which sets out goals for the children based on the four foundations of learning as outlined in the Programme Statement. Children are provided with opportunities to experience both free play-based activities and guided activities, encouraging free individual expression with guidance where necessary. The Programme offers fun and innovative activities that address the different needs, interests and learning styles of each child to protect and support their intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth.
The Programme’s Philosophy framework is supported by partnerships and shared responsibility between parents, teachers, Registered Early Childhood Educators and Programme staff. We work together to meet our shared goals and it is important that we communicate and share information with each other about the child’s experiences at home, in school and in the Programme regarding health, achievements, and other daily issues or concerns.
