BBPS Building Blocks Daycare Centres Medicine Hat encourages children to develop an "Awareness of the World around Me". This is the Daycares yearly theme and is tied together with the monthly themes and activities of the program. We believe that in order to provide a successful Daycare program, children are recognized as unique individuals who have the right to develop creatively, intellectually, emotionally, socially and physically to his or her own potential. Building Blocks Childcare Centres Medicine Hat encourages this development by providing a playful, nurturing and safe environment.
Philosophy of the Program
At BBPS Building Blocks Daycare Centres Medicine Hat, we offer structured, unstructured and routine activities. We follow the philosophies of early childhood education and thus recognize that play is the work of children and is a requirement to a child's well being. Play stimulates a child to learn and is vital for his or her growth and development.
