About Us
Our Philosophy
The Centre provides a secure, supportive and trusting environment in which a child can develop and grow at his or her own pace. We offer creative and stimulating activities that encourage social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth and well-being.
The goals of our programme are to nurture independent thought and action, self-confidence, self-discipline, co-operation and social skills. CECC has an anti-bias policy, which promotes respect for diversity in colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, creed, sex, sexual orientation, age, marital status, family status, disability or the receipt of public assistance.
Curriculum
Our “Emergent Curriculum,” offers a comprehensive programme that involves activities to nourish creativity, sensory perception, motor skills, social awareness, language skills and intellectual growth.
Our curriculum is responsive to the child’s interest and development. It encompasses hands-on experiences, indoor and outdoor play, excursions, special events and visitors from the community.
