Personal Philosophy:
Quality
child care not only includes excellent care, education
and parent education, health and safety but a relationship
between each child and their family. I acknowledge the
fact that every child is unique and individual, comes
from their own culture, and deserves respect in regard
to that culture. We can truly prove our love for a child
and their family by respecting their culture.
As Prime Times says, “Child care can’t be
good for children without being good for parents and caregivers.”
Warm, supportive and respectful relationships between
adults and children lie at the heart of good care for
children. I believe childcare centers can and must be
a place where children, parents and caregivers alike can
feel a sense of belonging, like they’re family.
Healthy children and healthy families make healthy communities. |
