Panda's philosophy of child care: We believe that high quality, developmentally appropriate programs should be available to all children and their families and should be applied to the four components of Early Childhood programs: curriculum, adult-child interactions, relations between the home and program, and developmental evaluation of children.
We believe children learn through play and a good program will provide opportunities for all levels of development and types of play. Every child is treated with respect and consideration. Panda staff listen to the children and respond to them in a respectful and appropriate manner. We support children's respectful peer interaction, acknowledge children's expressed feelings, and treat their feelings as valid.

Awards & Accreditation
Report
A number of childcare organizations have established high quality standards that are beyond the minimum license requirements. When a centre becomes accredited, it has voluntarily met the high quality standards and has made a commitment to provide the kind of care, attention, and activities your children require.
Panda’s Approach To Meeting Children’s Needs
Report
Panda children interact with peers and adults; they learn to function as a group member and learn appropriate social behaviour through self-directed activities in all centres. Panda children are given the opportunity to use a variety of physical skills in the gross motor and fine motor centres. The program ensures the child has the opportunity for adequate nutrition and rest as required.
