At Yorkview Kids Care, we believe in creating a nurturing environment that fosters a child’s growth and development. Our philosophy is built around four foundational conditions: Belonging, Well-being, Engagement, and Expression.
Our Approach
- We value each child as a competent, capable, active, and curious learner, and provide opportunities for them to explore and express themselves through play and inquiry.
- We prioritize physical and mental health, encouraging self-care and promoting a sense of self-awareness in our children.
- We believe in the importance of problem-solving and creative thinking, and encourage children to explore their environment and the world around them through their natural curiosity.
- We recognize the close ties between a child and their family, culture, and society, and strive to create a sense of consistency and connection between home, school, and community.
Our Values
- Respect: We value each child’s unique perspective and experiences, and strive to create a safe and inclusive environment where they can thrive.
- Kindness: We believe in fostering a sense of compassion and empathy in our children, and encourage them to treat others with kindness and respect.
- Communication: We provide opportunities for children to express themselves in all forms, and value their contributions to our community.
- Resilience: We believe in helping children develop self-regulation skills and build their resilience, so they can navigate challenges and setbacks with confidence.
