The PCC Philosophy

At Pineridge Children's Centre, we believe that each child is precious and capable. A child needs to be nurtured and cared for. We believe that a child must be respected as an individual with his/her own personality and character. We feel strongly that a child should enjoy childhood, to experience life and to be filled with wonder, excitement and enthusiasm.

Our centre provides a safe, caring, and inclusive environment for all children, which fosters independence, self-awareness, awareness of the child's environment and the growth of self-esteem and self confidence as well as empathy and respect for others. We provide a relaxed but stimulating program. We encourage communication and problem solving and promote the healthy development of each child. The French language is introduced in the infant/toddler program in the form of song and play and in formal short lessons in the pre school/kindergarten programs.
