 MISSION STATEMENT

Creative Hands aims to provide high quality, developmentally

appropriate childcare for children ages 3-5 years old. By creating
an environment that will focus on the whole child’s health,
physical, social, emotional and cognitive development. And
working with family members and the community to provide a
unique opportunity for children to learn valuable skills. Allowing
children to learn in a safe, nurturing and recreational environment
for children to bring out their creative minds.

VISION STATEMENT

Our vision is to develop well-rounded, creative, respectful and

responsible individuals, who aspire to achieve their full potential;
in order to create a better tomorrow

11
 VALUES

There are four core values that are demonstrated daily through the
words we use, the choices we make, and the actions we take:
Creativity – use your imaginations and express yourself
Aspire – to be all you can be and reach for your goals
Respect – for ourselves, others and the environment
Empathy – for others, treat them with care.
Creative Hands CARE

12
 CURRICULUM STATEMENT

We realize that choosing the right curriculum for our program is an

important decision. So, we decide to follow the Montessori
Approach. This approach is a method of education that is based on
self-directed activity, hands-on learning and collaborative play.
Children gain knowledge and develop by exploring the world
around them. Allowing them to explore, make choices, manipulate
objects, transform items, and experiment is what Creative Hand’s
curriculum is all about. Our goals are to specifically build a child-
centered method of education that involves child-led activities
(referring to work). We also make use of the National Standard
Curriculum provide by the Ministry of Education which target the
holistic development of children from 3- 6 years old.
In our classroom’s children make creative choices in their learning,
while the classroom highly trained teacher offers age-appropriate
activities to guide this process. We also design opportunities to
stimulate each child’s curiosity and instill a lifelong love of
learning.
Our curriculum also respects each child’s learning style and the
pace at which they develop.
As our name states “Creative Hands” activities are thoughtfully
designed to encourage hand movements from left to right to
prepare the brain for how the child read or top to bottom to prepare
the brain for solve math equations.

13
Through our curriculum, we promote growth in all area of
development such as:
Physical: where we create emphasis on hands on independent
learning. This will help children develop their fine motor skills
Social: This is where we enhance social interaction as children
learn from each other as we engage children to works in groups.
This helps children develop social skills like discussion, patience,
and empathy.
Emotional: this helps children to develop self-confidence, pride,
leadership skill a sense of belonging as they create and construct
their own learning.

Our History
Creative Hands Early Childhood Institution was opened in 2017 with

funds allocated by the founding members:

Miss. Alathia Kherreddine

Miss. Anneika McGowan

Miss. Stacy-ann Pinnock

Miss. Tischina Smith

These young educators saw the need of the community for a high-quality

early childhood institution that would allow for children ranging from

3 – 5 years to have an environment in which they could come in gain a

high-quality education that will help to create a better tomorrow.

With the principles of Friedrich Froebel, the German educator who coil

the word Kindergarten in mind; these young educators set out on a

15
mission to make their dream a reality. They were able to acquire 5 acres

of land on which the school was constructed with the help of the

Ministry of Education from the Newell family. The school was opened

on September 4, 2017, with 18 students and Miss. Stacy-ann Pinnock as

Principal.

The aftercare program was introduced in September 2018, based on a

need for working parents who have to be at work a little later than

normal. In October of the same year the principal- Miss. Stacy-ann

Pinnock saw the need for the children to have modern amenities and it is

with this task on hand she set out on a mission with the full support of

her staff to acquire some much-needed computers for the school. It was

from this initiative that the computer lab and the school’s library was

built. The school currently host 3 classrooms, a library, computer lab,

sickbay, extra-curricular room, auxiliary room, staff room, and dining

room/ auditorium.

Over the past three years of existence, the school's population has grown

to over 39 students, three trained teachers, and 8 support staff. The

school currently has a Principal, Vice Principal, and nurse.

develop. Children need proper nutrients to stay healthy and strong
and to build up healthy bones. The physical benefits of proper
nutrition are to maintains the immune system, protects against
malnourishment, prevents obesity and reduces the risk of chronic
disease. At Creative Hands we provide children with a balance
meal that take nutrients from all the food group.

SCHOOL SUPPLIES

Parents must ensure that all the materials on the booklist are

once an alternative will be made to accommodate your child. It is
most important that children are supplies with the necessary school
supplies, as it will help to support student’s holistic development.

SAFETY DRILL

Students and teachers are engaged in safety drills on a regular

basis. Monthly fire drills will be conducted. Earthquake drills are
conducted every two months as no one is aware when an
earthquake will occur. It is of utmost importance that children are
engage in these safety practices as it will enable them to move
quickly and in an orderly manner to pre-designated safety areas
during an emergency. It will also prepare them to know what to do
in an emergency before one happens, as it helps them feel more
confident in their ability to handle an emergency.
