Where Fun and Learning go "Hand in Hand"
As a Early Childhood Educators, we feel the preschool-based program provides children with a stimulating environment. We believe that the purpose of Early Childhood Education is:
- To provide children with opportunities to develop physically, intellectually, socially and emotionally.
- To assit children in building self-confidence, independence and self-esteem.
- To recognize the needs, wishes and rights of all children.
- To appreciate our differences and to enjoy the similarities we share.
- To develop a spirit of inquiry and the skills for creative learning, nature growth and self-expression in socially acceptable ways.
Staff
Kids Castle daycare and preschool staff are fully certified early childhood educators. The out of school staff may be E.C.E certified as the license does not require the out of school staff to be E.C.E certified. The staff is very cheerful and respectful and ensures they are able to meet each child's needs. Kids Castle is happy to take practicum students from different colleges around the lower mainland. When hiring new staff members, background experience is always recommended and criminal record checks are performed. They are always sure to get proper documentation from every student that visits the daycare. Most importantly, safety regarding children comes first and each staff member holds a first aid certificate.
Practicum Students
From time to time college students will be visiting to do their practicum in order to graduate from an Early Childhood Education program. Our students will be a mix of first, second and third practicum students. They will be visited 2 or 3 times by their college instructors who will observe them in the setting and help them have a successful practicum. If you are interested in applying with Kids Castle for your practicum, please contact us.
