Philosophy

At KidHub we firmly believe that building healthy relationships with children requires a foundation of mutual trust and respect. One facet of achieving this is ensuring that the children genuinely enjoy, and are excited to participate in, the activities that are being offered. We do this by catering the daily activities of the program to the interests of the children that attend, and while the children will always be encouraged to participate, they will never be forced. We will always offer some other relaxed options during our planned activities so that children can join in at their own pace when they wish.

We are committed to helping build each child's self-esteem and self-worth by providing a welcoming and warm environment where children are free to learn new things as they develop their uniqueness and reach their maximum potential. We believe that integrating leadership-enhancing opportunities, connecting to the community and preparing for the future (among many other initiatives that we are involved in at KidHub) into our program is what sets us apart from other programs. Children will be encouraged to get involved in developing ideas for activities to help build their independence, creativity, personal responsibility, teamwork and problem-solving skills.

Mission

At KidHub we believe that it is essential for children to be provided with an atmosphere where their physical, social, lingual, intellectual, creative and emotional needs are taken seriously and that every effort is made to meet the needs of each child that attends the program. We understand that each child is unique in the way in which their needs are met, and we believe it is our duty as child care providers to do what we can to best meet their needs in these areas. Our program will promote differentiated learning through a variety of activities (indoor/outdoor, small group, large group, individual, etc.) that will account for the uniqueness of the children who attend.

We highly value children learning to become better global citizens by hands-on experiences with leadership, community outreach, etc. Children attending KidHub will have a well-rounded fun and educational after-school experience.

We understand that some of the children that attend our program may have exceptional needs, and KidHub will care for the needs of those specific children, as appropriate. We will do everything we can to acquire Special Needs Support Staff and One-to-One support workers if the situation requires and will ensure that they are trained on up-to-date methods to help meet the needs of the individual children they will be working with. KidHub is an inclusive program and we want all of our children to feel included in everything we do. Our activities will be planned with the different needs of children in mind.
