Welcome to Little Paws Children’s Centre
Little Paws Children’s Centre is a licensed group child care centre that is dedicated to ensuring each child’s needs are met in a stimulating and developmentally appropriate environment. Our goal is to work with parents and families to support these needs and to provide the best experience possible throughout their time at the centre.
Mission
Empowering children and families through culture, language and play.
Values
- Safety: We provide a secure and nurturing environment that promotes heathy development of the whole child.
- Professionalism: We are committed to providing a positive work environment that involves healthy communication amongst Educators and families.
- Passion: We understand our important roles in each child’s life and take pride in forming those special attachments with each individual child.
- Culture: We believe it is important to respect every family’s beliefs and how they may differ from others.
Philosophy
At Little Paws Children’s Centre, our goal is to work together to nurture and guide early years children by providing an environment that fosters trust security and comfort with a balance of activities that help children to progress in social, emotional, physical and cognitive development. We also believe that parents are the most important people to children and are an important part of a child’s education.
