The main
aim of the centre is to ensure the children feel safe, secure and happy in a
friendly environment, which will aid in their development. We nurture each child
to help their development in all areas - physical, emotional, social,
intellectually and language. Each
child's individuality is respected and this is reflected through the planning
and programming.
We aim to
meet the children's and the parents needs and wishes, ensuring that your time at
A.C.E. Child Care centre is happy and enriching. Throughout the day siblings are
given the opportunity to interact with each other.
At
A.C.E.
Child Care Centre we aim to provide an environment and a program in which the
child is both cared for and helped to grow.
The staff plans a stimulating and challenging program. The program is
adapted to suit each child's level of development and interest, and fosters
their confidence and independence.
The
program is based on the notion that children learn through play.
What looks like "just play" is serious work for children, and
when properly guided produces important learning.
There is a
balance between active and quiet; indoor and outdoor; individual and group; free
play and directed activities. An
example of activities includes puzzles, painting, climbing, drawing, sand and
water play, music and movement.
Throughout
the year special visitors attend the centre to enrich the children's learning.
These include chick hatching, puppet shows, farm visits, reptile visits, a dance
program etc.
