Childcare Philosophy
Its OK to be grumpy - we all have our 'off' days
You are encouraged to do your best
You are not expected to be perfect
You are expected to follow the rules as best you can
You will be taught right from wrong
There will be someone there to protect you
And most of all, there will always be a pair of loving arms
To hold you when you feel sad
