NYAD offers early education programs for young children, birth through 12 years of age, that honours and respects their right to environments that are inclusive, diverse, culturally sensitive, bias-free, non-judgmental, equitable, developmentally appropriate and safe from harm. Our programs also incorporate and celebrate the natural environment.
In NYAD, each child is an individual with his or her own strengths and weaknesses, likes and dislikes. This special uniqueness is to be fostered through experiences that allows each child to develop a sense of self and well-being; promoting their capacity for self-care and self-regulation skills; enabling the child to explore the world and form conclusions that are true to themselves.
At NYAD it is our educator's job to watch, observe, interact, research, facilitate, enhance and document learning. In order to do this so it is beneficial to your child, the educator will reflect what they see, hear and experience with your child; what is it that is capturing the child's attention, is it the car or is it speed; is it the brightly coloured material touching the infant's face or is it the coolness of the material?
NYAD believes that play based programming nurtures the conditions that are important for children to grow and flourish. It promotes, Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement and Expression.
