Welcome to Bouncing Bubbles Child Care! It is my vision to provide your child with a fun early-childhood program within a safe home environment.
My philosophy of childcare is to provide an environment for the child:
- Where children feel safe, happy and loved
- Where play-based learning happens with a balance of child-led and teacher-led activities
- Where exploration and discovery are encouraged
- Where each child is celebrated as an individual with their own unique abilities, learning style, needs and interests
- That encourages socialization as well as independent play, reinforcing positive values
My philosophy of family-centered childcare is to provide for families:
- Open and honest communication about your child
- Up-to-date information about your child’s activities
