History
The program was formed in 1985 as a non-profit, community-based child care centre. The
program has a history of partnership with the school, the School Council and school
community. It is owned and operated by a voluntary board of directors, most of whom are
parents of children in the program.
Philosophy
Devonshire Child Care Centre provides a safe, well-supervised facility with comfortable
atmosphere in which the daily program meets the needs and interests of the participating
children. The program goals are to provide both individual and group learning opportunities in
both indoor and outdoor environments. The curriculum is designed to allow flexible,
spontaneous activities based on the children’s interests. Following the Early Learning for Every
Child Today document and How Does Learning Happen, our Registered Early Childhood
Educators provide a stimulating, educational, play-based environment which guides the
children’s learning, enhances their knowledge and meets their individual developmental needs.
