what I do I understand."
About the Program:
Ser.en.dip.i.ty [ser-uhn-dip-i-tee]- Noun 1. Luck in making desirable discoveries by accident
Serendipity is a child- centred and play responsive early years program where the curriculum is based on observations of the children’s interests to create child led projects and a child led environment ~ the emergent curriculum, as well as a gentle introduction to Montessori Programming. Children will have the opportunity to develop their intellectual, emotional, social, creative and physical skills through a variety of activities throughout the day at their own pace during structured and non-structured times, inside and outside.
I believe that children need to feel safe and secure in their environment, before they can learn and grow and make discoveries. Building strong relationships with each child and family is my primary emphasis.
I believe every child is an individual, and is unique and I aim to provide each of them what they need in order to develop at their own pace.
I believe that children learn best through play and social interactions. Children are encouraged to become as independent as possible, through role modeling, positive reinforcement, trust, love and care.
My goal is to provide opportunities to assist your child in developing a positive self image which includes self acceptance and a healthy sense of confidence in his or her own abilities.
I provide experiences and activities that will fulfill your child’s individual developmental needs (social, emotional, creative, intellectual, and physical).
I provide guidance in helping your child in becoming a responsible individual, respecting the feelings of others, and offer experiences that will stimulate an interest in future learning.
Serendipity offers a 1:10 Educator to Child ratio for the morning preschool program, 1:8 Educator to Child ratio for the afternoon group care program.
