Gimme-a-Break is committed to providing flexible high quality child care within a nurturing, secure, environmentally friendly setting.

We recognize and respect the uniqueness and potential of each child. Early Childhood Education should include the development of the whole child; emotionally, socially, physically, and cognitively.

We believe young children learn through natural interest, positive guidance, when well nourished, happy, and in a healthy, aesthetically pleasing environment that offers choice and freedom to learn.

Educators and caregivers of young children need to be well educated in early childhood development and possess natural qualities of nurturing and a passion for the development of the whole child. We believe children and families are entitled to flexible, affordable high quality child care.

Gimme-a-Break provides children with opportunities to develop to their full potential, within an environment that’s nurturing, fosters co-operation, a sense of responsibility, and respect for oneself, others, and the environment.

Choice, independence, and initiative are promoted. Positive guidance techniques are used to help children problem solve and develop self confidence. Logical and natural consequences are used to encourage appropriate behaviours and further develop children’s self-esteem.

Our classrooms are arranged to offer freedom and choice. Special attention is given to every aspect of the centre and
programming, continually striving to make the most environmentally friendly choice possible. Our security system
ensures families their children are in a safe, secure environment when away from home.

All employees are qualified to work in the field of Early Childhood Education. Every staff member at Gimme-a-Break
is committed to offering the highest standards when caring for and educating young children. Their patients,
experience, talents and passion for high quality child care are traits that are essential and highly valued.

Our Flexible child care program offers parents an alternative to fulltime care. A place parents can
rely on, a place that provides peace of mind knowing their child is safe, happy, nourished and
participating in a high quality learning environment.
