Bridging the Gap: Childcare Centre Need Assessment
Introduction
Childcare is services are important in this age of globalization where both the parents work.
while not all families are okay with either partner compromising on his or her job to take care

services require extremely high levels of responsibility and ensure that the children are well
taken care of, safe and learn good things at the daycare centre. All daycare centres have
certain philosophies and operational commandments on which they work.
This report will assess three such philosophies and operational effectiveness of "Waterloo
Infant Daycare” child care centre in Canada.

(WITDA), the following three values/beliefs of working were highlighted:
1. To create a holistic learning environment for the children and focus on developing
their emotional, cognitive, social, physical and psychological growth
2. Developing learning in young children using the pedagogical approach
3. Promoting diversity in service by promoting the use of different languages for
immigrant children to learn English from a young age
The above-identified principles of philosophy help us in understand how the daycare
functions, and what are their operational efficiencies (Government of Canada, 2019).
This is essential for any parent since it helps them assess the quality of day-care and if it is
best suited for their child.
