Here at Capers Early Learning Scarborough, we show respect to the traditional custodians of this sacred land on which we meet and pay our respects to the elders, past present and emerging.
We view each child as individuals and enable them to explore their interest, make choices, decisions, and influence events within their world. We understand that is essential that every child is to feel a sense of belonging, to be in the moment and be themselves in the environment around them. We encourage children’s voices, who tell us it is our unique environments and yummy food that brings them through our doors each day. We value the importance of building strong relationships that ensure children feel a sense of security, which is the foundation of high-quality care.
All of our educators hold relevant qualifications for their roles or are studying towards these. Our Educators are guided by the Early Years Learning Framework (EYLF) and provide all children with equal opportunities within our play based environment.
