Childtime's educational daycare philosophy is based on the Reggio Emilia approach, named after the Italian city and the surrounding villages where the method took root after World War II.
Central to this philosophy is the belief that secure relationships with responsive and respectful adults provide the basis for all learning.
With these relationships in place, children develop a capacity for trust, competence and independence that helps them grow as students and people.
