We are committed to creating and maintaining a place for children that acknowledges, reflects and communicates our values. Little Buccaneers has a set of fundamental values that are based on an image of the child as curious, competent and capable of co-constructing knowledge. This co-construction of knowledge is supported by an environment that is abundant with a host of resources and is supported by time. As educators, we observe, document, and interpret children's thinking and learning in order to understand, support and extend the children's experiences. We value our school as a community of learners who reflect and collaborate with one another. These proposals are designed to augment experiences, offer countless possibilities for creativity, imagination, symbolization and representation in the classrooms, the atelier and outdoor areas. We recognize the child's family as the first teacher. We, as a school community, hope to form a partnership with the child's family. We feel that the relationships formed will be critical and will provide the opportunity to build culture in our school. The culture formed will reflect the unique cultures of the individuals that make up our school community.
