High Five – Principles of Healthy Child Development

High Five is a quality standard for children’s sport and recreation founded by Parks and Recreation Ontario. The training ensures leaders, coaches and instructors have the tools and knowledge to nurture a child’s mental health and create positive experiences.

Kingston Day Care hosted an all day “HIGH FIVE – Principles of Healthy Child Development” training session for Kingston Day Care employees. This training helped to provide our staff with expertise and tools on how to design activity plans that enhance the development and success of children; use practice tips and skills that can be applied to build healthy relationships in all areas of programming for children; recognize choices that can impact environments and spaces that foster healthy child development and acknowledge the crucial role of front line leaders in the healthy development of children.

Kingston Day Care’s school age programs have been greatly enhanced by the incorporation of the HIGH FIVE - Principles of Healthy Child Development; this unique feature has proven to be a great asset for the children enrolled in these programs.

Creative Learning Environments

Kingston Day Care strongly acknowledges the importance of Play-Based Learning; our early childhood educators work together to plan an emergent curriculum that is based on their on-going observations and reflection of the children’s interests; activity planning is on-going and dynamic. Play is recognized as a vital path to learning as it capitalizes on children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm to absorb new information. The physical space in our early childhood settings is carefully planned out as we believe it plays a key role in learning and development. The ability to measure the excellence of our child care programs involves the use of the Early Learning for Every Child Today (ELECT) Continuum of Development. This is not a tool to assess children’s progress against a set of desired outcomes, but rather a tool that provides a reference point for our early childhood educators as they plan and enhance experiences that will support the children’s on-going learning and development; it is used as a base for observation and discussion of the children’s learning.  The Continuum of Development is made up of root skills from birth to eight years of age and is organized into six domains ~ Social; Physical; Emotional; Communication/language/literacy; and Cognitive.

Kingston Day Care is committed to achieving high standards & quality assurance by promoting and providing Professional Development opportunities for our early childhood educators and support staff on an on-going basis throughout the year.
