Springbank Cottage Childcare will provide a safe, nurturing environment, and a program of activities to enhance development of the whole child while considering the individual, varied needs of families within the community, Qualified, committed staff members will provide opportunities to create, explore, problem-solve, play indoors and outdoors, interact with others or enjoy private time. Children will be encouraged to make choices as they might in a healthy home environment. Children will be assisted in making smooth transitions between school and the program throughout the day by staff members who serve as supportive, responsive role-models. Ongoing communication and opportunities for involvement will be provided to parents. We believe that staff members and parents are partners in children's care and overall development.more...See more text
