- **Our Care Principles**_

**Developmentally Focused**
- All children have the same basic requirements for growth and development.
- Children learn best when skills are within their zone of proximal development.
- Children need support to engage their innate capacity to grow and develop.

**Family is actively Involved**
- Contact with the family is an indicator of successful treatment.
- Planning for adequate community support is essential for a successful return.
- The child’s ethnic and cultural identity is tied to the family.

**Relationship-Based**
- The ability to form relationships is associated with healthy development and life success.
- Relationships are central to helping children build competencies.
- Children respond to people they trust.

**Competency-Centered**
- Problem-solving skills, flexibility, critical thinking, and insight are necessary life skills.
- Focusing on strengths and positive attributes helps build a positive identity.
- The child’s strengths and resources are the biggest factors in making positive change.

**Trauma-Informed**
- Trauma has a debilitating effect on children’s growth and development.
- Maintaining a non-coercive and safe environment is essential for children to learn new responses to stressful situations. Challenging behaviour is often pain-based behaviour.

**Ecologically-Oriented**
- Children learn by interacting with their environment.
- The environment is influenced by the interactions with the children and staff.
- **Schedule**_:_
