WHAT WE DO
Commitment of Communication
We believe that good communication is the heart of a successful center. Each parent should feel free to talk to the director or operator at any time. Your interests and concerns are appreciated. We strive to communicate our goals, policies, and objectives clearly to our parents. Parental comments will be handled sincerely and professionally.
Commitment to Our Children
Our mission is to maintain high quality childcare at an affordable cost with the children’s best interests and developmental needs in mind. We are here to provide a safe, healthy, and educational place for children to stay while away from their parents.
Photographs
Photographs of the children’s participation at FTCD may be taken from time to time. The photos are displayed for children to enjoy, used in various social media posts, arts and craft projects, and given to parents periodically. If you wish for your child not to be included in pictures for any reason, please make that request in writing.
Program of Activities
The center provides a basic program of activities geared to the age levels and developmental needs of the children served. All daily routines are scheduled for the same time each day.
Our Core Values
Integrity
We believe When parents are looking for an early learning childcare program, they should find a program and people they can trust. In everything we do from the office to the classroom, from our business decisions to our interactions with
parents, children and co-workers, we conduct ourselves with honest and straightforward actions and speech. We do what is right because it is the right thingto do.
Quality
We believe all children deserve high-quality care and learning programs that meets the needs of young children. We work together to provide a happy safe, nurturing environment. Our goal is to provide a positive learning experience and environment that facilitates academic readiness, lifelong success, and growth in character education.
Respect
We believe respect is essential to building effective relationships. We value each other, children, families, the learning environment and the wider community. Respecting ourselves is at the heart of respecting others. By respecting and loving ourselves, we teach others to treat us the same. Respect is a two-way street; we are
more likely to be shown respect if we show it first. We listen and value the opinion of others, even when we do not agree with them. We demonstrate this by ensuring people feel heard and understood. Respect is about treating each other equally as
we would want to be treated ourselves. By showing respect, we are role models for our colleagues, the children, families and the broader community.
Fun
We believe in creating a sense of enjoyment through positive experiences. We value fun. We take every opportunity to create fun in everyday activities, and in how we celebrate our successes and important events. Fun energizes us–it fuels our connection with each other. It helps us to deal with the pressures and
challenges we face as individuals and as a team. We learn and develop faster when we are having fun. We take fun seriously!
