At Imagination Station Daycare we believe that as young children grow they need guidance and nurturing to encourage development in all imperative areas. We believe that there are five crucial aspects of a child’s “self” which require fostering throughout the early years: physical self, social self, emotional self, intellectual self, and the creative self. We also believe that the most effective way to foster these crucial areas of development is through play.
               
Building relationships with families, based on open communication, is very important when guiding and caring for young children. It is very important that families and caregivers work together as a team to ensure that consistency is maintained between home and daycare.

As an anti-biased center we welcome all families of diversity. The preschool program is run as a non-denominational, education program suitable for children and families of all cultures, beliefs, and backgrounds.

Promoting independence in children is also very important. As children become more independent they gain a sense of self worth and accomplishment. We encourage children to be independent and praise them for their accomplishments.

At Imagination Station Daycare we ensure that we always maintain a safe and healthy classroom. By doing this we make sure that all equipment and supervision meets or exceeds safety regulations. In order to maintain a healthy classroom we strongly encourage families to provide nutritious meals and snacks as well as encourage the children to eat in a healthy manner. In addition to this we also model proper safety, health and hygiene practices at all times.

As children grow in their development they gain competence which gives them the ability to feel confident enough to continue learning and feel a sense of joy in their accomplishments. As educators there is no greater gift.
