-
All children deserve to participate in all activities, regardless of their level of ability.

Diversity is welcomed, with the importance of teaching children to encourage, accept, understand, value and provide mutual respect for one another.
MAPLE RIDGE CHILDCARE SOCIETY
Dedicated to Nurturing Young Minds
MRCS believes that every family should have access to a quality, inclusive childcare setting for their children which provides a warm, nurturing and safe environment.
Our foundation is based upon the five core areas of development, physical, intellectual, language, social and emotional through appropriate activities and experiences. We strive to meet the diverse needs of children, to promote:
-
A positive attitude towards lifelong learning
-
Independence from child initiated, teacher facilitated learning environments and development of a positive self concept
-
A place where a child has the feeling of belonging to family, community and the world at large.
-
A safe and welcoming environment for children that will stimulate their growth at their own pace.
