Mission Statement

We believe that children have the right to be respected as unique individuals while developing self-confidence and inter-dependence. Interdependence is the common ground between independence and devotion to ones, family, community or society. All children and families within our community are welcome as we invite a diverse range and variety of cultures and race. We provide a stimulating environment that promotes the development of empathy, self-esteem and responsibility through the fostering of respect for self and others and the promotion of positive relationships. Indeed, it is the genuine relationships fostered and maintained between the children that provide for a richer developmental experience. At Parker James we embrace the motto ‘Care of self, Care of others, and Care of the environment.  The caring staff at Parker James help facilitate a climate of attentive, educational and nurturing support while being aware and sensitive to each child’s individual needs. At Parker James, we recognize that family is the most immediate and important provider of care and that parents and staff are partners in the children’s care and education.
