Philosophy
Parents hope for a warm, healthy, loving and stimulating environment where their children learn to trust, build self confidence and are able to follow their natural joys of learning.
To gain trust, it is important to provide the child with few main contact persons while it is still young. It is essential for children to grow deep “roots” during the first three years of their lives, which will enable them to stand strong in the world with all its tasks and challenges.
Later in their lives, we must support the growing of a child’s “wings”. These we must help develop according to the timeframe and the space that suits each individual child’s needs to develop a free, open minded and tolerant personality. I believe in fostering a child’s natural curiosity, using ordinary moments to create a daily learning frame work.
My program emphasizes on socialization, empathy, creative thinking, language development, problem solving, emotional growth and age appropriate academics. Besides the most important free play time I provide opportunities for children to participate in planned and spontaneous activities.
This includes dramatic play, story time, art, music, basic science and math experiences, literacy and physical development. All activities incorporate the body, mind and soul of the child in a holistic way.
I, Elisabeth Mueller, the owner and operator of Bowen Island Kinderhaus Licensed Childcare have the passion, knowledge and professional experience to offer high standard care in conjunction with the necessary educational Early Learning programs for your children during their early childhood, combined with a pedagogical recognized concept which also incorporates the BC Early Learning Frame Work and is aiming to ready children for the BC Kindergarten Curriculum and core competencies.
My wish is it to help you as parents to combine your family and work life in an optimal way. My vision is to be a vital part in creating a joyful world for you as a family, the children and our community
