The Vaughan Philosophy

A Child-Centred Philosophy
Children are given the freedom to use their imagination,and develop their creativity and independence, with no pressure to conform or compete. The informal encouraging nature of the program allows children to develop pride in themselves and respect for others.

Exploring and Learning Through Play
Vaughan Co-op Nursery School's program is play-based and the children are central to their own educational process. The children's ideas and interests emerge and form the basis for their experiences, while the environment provides the materials and feedback that support their development.

The child's feelings about self and others are nurtured, and a full range of emotional expression is encouraged. The individual personality of each child is respected, while responsibility and self-discipline are encouraged.

Through a wide range of playful activities, children develop skills in cognitive thinking, critical thinking, fine motor, gross motor, and language. Children also learn conflict resolution skills that will hopefully last a lifetime.

Creativity is encouraged through a wide range of art materials, music and movement, dramatic play and literature. Children create freely; the process of creation and exploration is more important than the finished product.

Health and physical development are encouraged through nutritious snacks and meals, appropriately scheduled quiet/rest times and active outdoor and indoor play.

We highly value the participation of parents; it is an integral part of the co-operative process. Working in partnership with your child's teacher enriches the lives of all the children and provides opportunities for parents and teachers to learn from one another.

Make a commitment to your child's early education.
