Children’s Bill of Rights

We, the faculty and staff of Great New Beginnings for early childhood education, pledge to recognize and honor this Children’s Bill of Rights.

G

Great New Beginnings will provide the children with opportunities for creativity, exploration and emotional/psychological maturation, because all children have the right to experience a wide variety of activities to help them develop a feeling of independence and confidence. Learning activities will encourage the children to build their language, cognitive, gross and fine motor and social skills.

N

Nourishing a child’s development is essential to his or her education. All children have the right to be encouraged to do their best at whatever they do.

B

Being hugged and cuddled allows children to feel valued and secure, which enables them to develop self-esteem. Every child has a right to the calm, warm, loving and nurturing environment that we provide.

K

Knowledge of each child’s interests, handicaps, special talents, individual style and pace of learning will allow us to fulfill that child’s right to be respected as an individual.

I

In our program every child has the right to have all of his or her physical needs met. This includes the need for rest and relaxation throughout the day.

D

During the time your child is under our care, they have the right to a safe and secure environment.

S

Small classes will allow us to fulfill the children’s right to personal attention, a relaxed atmosphere and freedom of choice in their activities.
