Child Care Philosophy
At NICCS, every classroom presents a unique community of learners that varies not only in abilities but also in learning styles. Our role as Educators is to give children the tools with which to cultivate their own gardens of knowledge. We at NICCS will teach to the needs of each child so that all learners can feel capable and successful. We familiarize children with not only our community but also with the world, to naturalize all cultures, and to ultimately help children become caring and active members of society.
Our Curriculum
At NICCS, we present curriculum that involves the interests of the children and makes learning relevant to life. Using Alberta’s Early Learning Curriculum Framework (FLIGHT), we embrace children’s everyday experiences as the sources of curriculum meaning making. NICCS follows the FLIGHT curriculum framework. Curriculum at NICCS is reflected in the pedagogical observations and documentation on children’s interests and developmental needs that notices, names, and nurtures the holistic play-based goals of FLIGHT and children's dispositions for learning.
Early Learning and Child Care is important to us because we are passionate about welcoming and building safe and caring relationships with children, families and educators through play and participation in our program. Our role as educators is to support children in becoming lifelong mighty learners, connecting to the Matters to be Considered as per the Early Learning and Child Care Act.
