Our mission is to provide safe and enriching child care, emphasizing learning through play, within our centre’s unique park setting.
PROGRAM OBJECTIVES
Our Philosophy
- To provide a flexible and varied program to meet the needs of each individual child and to gratify the natural curiosity inherent in all children so that each will develop to his/her potential emotionally, physically, socially, creatively, and intellectually.
- To provide an atmosphere of appreciation for the difference in people by promoting a healthy social interaction between the children and between the children and staff, by encouraging expression of feelings and sense of responsibility toward the well being of others.
- To provide freedom for each child: freedom to be oneself, to explore, to investigate, to take responsibility for one’s own actions and to make mistakes without the label of failure.
- To guide and support the children in all the endeavors in order to help them develop a positive self-concept and a positive feeling towards their world.
ABOUT POOH CORNER
Caring For Every Child
In operation as a non-profit society since 1972, Pooh Corner Daycare has been a cornerstone of the West End community for over 50 years. Located in a beautifully renovated heritage house in Stanley Park, we provide high-quality care for children aged 18 months to 5 years.
Our mission is to offer a safe and enriching environment where learning through play is at the heart of everything we do. Situated right beside Lost Lagoon, our unique park setting allows children to explore nature daily while our ECE-accredited staff fosters their emotional, physical, and intellectual growth. We take pride in our long-standing history of helping children develop a positive sense of self-worth and a lifelong curiosity about the world around them.
