Q.
Do you go outside when it's raining?
A.
We do! We value the outdoor play and exploration in wet and dry. We ask family to provide proper gear, eg. muddy buddy and change of clothes to be kept at the center. We are happy to support children to change when their clothing gets we.
If there is extreme weather in place, we have our spacious cubby room for children to use their big muscles with our gross motor equipments, such as: trampoline, balancing beam, scooters and obstacle course, etc.
Q.
Does the center provide snack?
A.
We believe families know the best of their children's diet. For snacks, the center provides grain and protein as families contribute with 2 child - serving of chopped-up fruit or veggies. The educators collect the containers and serve in the morning and afternoon a balanced snack to all children. *Please notice our center is nut-free zone*
Q.
What is the educator and children ratio? how many children do you have?
A.
Our enrollment capacity for each day is 18. According to the licensing regulation, for preschool program, the ratio is 1:10. As we are inclusive program, having children who need extra support also would mean having more educators on floor, usually the ratio is between 1: 6 - 10 .
Q.
What are the qualifications do your staff team have?
A.
All our educators are certified to work in the field with their full license and committed to continued professional development.
Q.
What is your guiding and caring approach?
A.
At Deer Lake East Preschool, we feel strongly that the most important things educator can do to support children's behaviour is to build strong, trusting, meaningful relationships and set up both a physical and emotional environment that focuses on children's success. When these things are established, children will be able to learn and practice social and emotional skills through both natural and deliberate teaching methods. we follow a pro-social approach to guiding and caring. We view challenging behaviour as an opportunity to teach. When we see a child struggle in a social situation, we try to determine the missing skill. We break that skills down into teachable steps and then find interactive ways to teach the skill with positive language to individual or the whole group. We then find many ways for children to practice the skill.
