Vision and Values
Great Journeys Learning Centre strives to provide a safe, developmentally inclusive environment. Our focus is to provide a stimulating early learning and childcare experience that promotes each child’s social/emotional, physical and cognitive development. Our goal is to support and nurture the children’s, as well as our own, natural desire to be life-long learners. We are committed to the families we serve, providing support and encouragement.
Quality Care and Trust: When parents are looking for early learning and child care programs they need to find someone they can trust. We are dedicated to providing safe and caring environments. We will also continue in our efforts to ensure and continuously improve our services to meet the needs of our children and families.
Life Long Learning: At Great Journeys Learning Centre we believe that we all share a responsibility to support and nurture the children’s, as well as our natural desire to be lifelong learners. We put ourselves and our learning on the same level as the child’s and commit to our own professional development and personal growth. We learn alongside the children and their families and embrace the opportunity to learn and grow each day.
Partnership: Respectful relationships are important and on which our organization operates. We believe that the quality of care we provide is measured by the quality of relationships we have with children, families, employees, school boards, investors, and legislators. We are committed to ensuring these relationships are respectful; warm and caring; honest and open; fair and equitable.
Fiscal Responsibility: We are committed to financial prudence and sustainability – to making decisions that take into consideration the overall financial health of the organization to meet our goals and objectives. We conduct ourselves in a manner that is professional and according to all business practices that are legal and ethical. Commitment to excellence in everything we do for our children.
