Our\u00a0Core Values<\/h1>

<\/p>

Philosophy Statement<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>

We strive towards a nurturing, welcoming environment in which all children can develop and enhance their existing skills. \u00a0We believe children learn through play as well as child-initiated and teacher-supported activities and experiences. \u00a0Our programs are created to support all areas of development. \u00a0Through reflective practice educators will continually evaluate and make adaptations based on children\u2019s responses, interactions and interests.<\/p>

Image of The Child Statement<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>

We believe children are happy and kind and thrive through supportive relationships. \u00a0By creating inviting, enriched environments we can enhance a child\u2019s natural curiosity. \u00a0When we provide a variety of nurturing and challenging experiences we can foster confidence and resilience.<\/p>

<\/p>

Vision Statement of Inclusive Child Care<\/strong>\u00a0<\/h3>

The staff and Board of Directors of My World of Learning Child Care Association believe that all children have the right to attend our centre.\u00a0 We strongly believe an inclusive environment helps children develop empathy and to accept each other as individuals.\u00a0 We offer quality child care that offers a developmentally and individually appropriate learning environment.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

Inclusion Policy\u00a0\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

My World of Learning Child Care Association is committed to upholding Equity, Diversity, Inclusion, Accessibility, and Anti-racism (EDIAA) principles by actively removing barriers to participation and ensuring our practices are inclusive, accessible, and anti-racist. We believe all children have the right to attend our centre. Throughout our program and daily routine, we use tools such as Quality Matters<\/a> and the Nova Scotia Early Learning Curriculum Framework<\/a> to provide an inclusive environment for all children.\u00a0 By participating in Pyramid Model for Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children<\/a> our educators are committed to teaching social-emotional skills.<\/p>

We believe in working as a team with families through verbal and written daily updates about the children\u2019s time at the centre.\u00a0 Authentic assessments that summarize a child\u2019s skills as observed at the day care are provided twice annually.\u00a0 We welcome family involvement by encouraging families to participate by attending family meetings, joining the family committee, becoming volunteers to assist in the classroom and applying to be on the Board of Directors.<\/p>

Our program is committed to a strength-based approach to inclusion. For children requiring additional supports, we develop and implement Positive Behaviour Support (PBS) or Routine-Based Plans (RBP) using a team approach including families, early childhood educators (ECEs), and other professionals. We actively collaborate and cooperate with Nova Scotia Early Childhood Development Intervention Services<\/a> (NSECDIS) staff, inviting developmental interventionists to consult at the request of any team member. Support plans begin with completing functional assessments to form a working theory on why a behaviour is occurring. We make proactive changes to our activities and space so every child can meaningfully participate and play with peers. Plans include clear goals and strategies to help children learn new skills to meet the child\u2019s needs. We assess and re-evaluate these plans regularly to make sure they grow along with the child.<\/p>

Educators are required to attend professional learning opportunities each year.\u00a0 They are encouraged to complete training on the subject of inclusion including Nova Scotia Early Learning Curriculum Framework, Pyramid Model for Social Emotional Competence in Infants and Young Children, and EDIAA principles.\u00a0 Resource materials are available to assist educators to be effective in providing inclusive care.<\/p>

The centre applies annually for the Inclusion Support Grant through the Department of Education and Early Childhood Development.\u00a0 The Inclusion Support Grant (ISG) provides funding for an Inclusion Coordinator over our required licensing ratios. This dedicated role supports high-quality inclusive programming, the implementation of our Quality Growth Plan, and aids educators with their individual development plans.\u00a0 The Inclusion Coordinator contributes to the Leadership Team\u2019s Implementation Plan and is committed to completing the training pathway to become a Pyramid Model Internal Coach.<\/p>

We submit detailed annual reports on how funding supports our inclusive practices and provide updates to our Quality Assurance Specialist. Families and staff can access the ISG Notification Letter, along with the grant\u2019s terms and conditions, in the information binder found in the entrance hall.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
