Mississauga Civic Centre Child Care Centre
Philosophy
The Mississauga Civic Centre Child Care Centre, operated by Sheridan
College, provides high quality programming based on the High/Scope
philosophy of education. The High/Scope Curriculum is based on the well
documented research of recognized theorists (Piaget and Erikson) as
well as ongoing research at the High/Scope Foundation in
Ypsilanti, Michigan. Children are seen as “Active Learners” who,
supported by their teachers, develop new understanding through active
exploration of materials, ideas and events.
Our programs
provide a total curriculum which allow for the optimal growth of
children in all areas including social, emotional, physical, and
cognitive development. The children are supported in a safe, nurturing,
and stimulating environment that promotes self-esteem and self
confidence and provides ongoing opportunity for decision-making and
problem solving.
Each child and family is recognized as being
unique. Family styles, values, cultures, and traditions are respected
and reflected in the curriculum.
