MISSION STATEMENT

Working together to promote and provide quality early childhood education and care to children.

PURPOSE

Ottawa School Day Nursery Inc., in partnership with the OCDSB, City of Ottawa, Ministry, and community partners, is committed to providing cost-effective, efficient, quality regulated child care to children between the ages of six weeks and ten years, in a school-based setting.

MANDATE

The OTTAWA SCHOOL DAY NURSERY INC. believes that CHILDREN are entitled to opportunities that support their emotional, social, creative, cognitive and physical growth and development in an environment that fosters active learning, autonomy, democratic freedom, multiculturalism and a sense of responsibility and order.

  • PARENTS/GUARDIANS have the primary responsibility for the care and education of their children. They also have the right to pursue financial security, further education and/or personal fulfillment. Parents/guardians are entitled to be informed of the operation of the child care program within the legal framework, and be involved in and informed of the daily life of the centre as an integral part of their childrearing experience. The OSDN Inc. will support parents'/guardians' participation in their children's early learning and development.
  • STAFF are entitled to open communication, job descriptions, performance reviews, financial recognition of the value of their work, and opportunities for professional development.
  • Staff members trained in Early Childhood Education and hired to provide quality child care are provided with opportunities in professional development and can avail themselves of other training opportunities.
  • The Ottawa School Day Nursery Inc. believes that an optimum early child care and education centre should support positive relations between children, families and staff. Such programs supplement and complement family care in a nurturing, learning environment that promotes non-sexist, anti-racist, non-violent values.
  • The Ottawa School Day Nursery Inc. believes that young children and their families should have access to early child care and education programs.
