What We Believe

Program Statement

At Oxford Community Child Care, we believe that children are competent, capable, curious and rich in potential. We are committed to high quality early learning and care where children learn and grow to become confident, independent and contributing members of our community.

Oxford Community Child Care recognizes and supports “How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years (2014)” as the document to be used for the purpose of guiding the development of our programs, informing our decisions regarding best practices and building professional capacity in a quality early learning team.

We are in agreement with the Minister’s policy statement that, together with the regulations that guide program development, pedagogy and practice in all child care and early learning settings, “How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years (2014)” is intended to strengthen the quality of programs and ensure high quality experiences that lead to positive outcomes in relation to children’s learning, development, health and well-being.

All programs offered by Oxford Community Child Care will use observation, reflective practice, critical thinking and a sound knowledge of child development to develop quality experiences for children and families. “How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years (2014)” is the foundation on which we will build our practice.
