To create an environment in the classroom and beyond that engages each child’s sense of wonder and helps to build the foundations for a lifelong love of learning.
At Maitland Farm we help each child develop his or her potential at his own pace. We nurture each child’s sense of wonder curiosity caring and confidence. Children develop a sense of themselves as capable individuals as they master a variety of skills—ranging from self help to motor to cognitive. We encourage respect for the environment and for the needs of others. We do this through a well-balanced program of experiences that encourages the growth of the whole child.
The 4 Rs are very important at Maitland Farm. By helping children develop healthy relationships and a sense of respect responsibility and resourcefulness parents and teachers help children build firm foundations for life.
Maitlands staff seeks to reach beyond the bounds of our own program to involve ourselves in community activities that will be of mutual benefit as learning is a lifelong process for us all. We seek to conduct ourselves in a caring and professional manner that will demonstrate our commitment to quality programs for young children throughout the community.
