Philosophy

 

The Educators and Management at Tippytoes believe that:
Children’s play is fundamental for children’s learning. Play is the means by which children learn and is essential for development.
Children are social beings and need to be able to have quality interactions with others. Children learn from interacting with each other.
Parent and Family involvement is an important part of an Early Childhood Centre. Parents are involved in decision-making concerning their child and can provide educators with an in-depth picture of their child.
Children develop best in an environment where they are kept safe from harm, feel loved and cared for and are affirmed as individuals. Each child is an individual therefore we focus on the whole child unique in strengths, abilities, interests, development, learning style and family/cultural background.
Children deserve to be respected. If children are respected they are accepted and begin to develop a feeling of personal worth, a feeling of personal worth leads to self confidence, motivation and pride which in turn optimises their capability to grow learn and develop.
Learning in the early years of a child’s life sets the foundations for later learning.
Success is important in keeping children positive and motivated to learn therefore a developmentally appropriate programme is essential as is provides experiences and equipment that children can successfully perform.
Children are confident and capable learners, and learn best when they are interested in what they are doing.
