Philosophy Because of our natural setting, Gibraltar Point Day Nursery is unique from any other Centre. We have a whole Island for our children to explore and learn from. We are proud that our children think of Gibraltar Point Day Nursery as a warm and happy home away from home. Our philosophy is one of freedom with limits based on positive reinforcement.   We offer each child the opportunity: to be and feel secure, safe and happy in an atmosphere, especially created to help a child develop to his/her full potential to participate in a balanced program covering the areas of intellectual, physical, social and emotional growth to experience activities which are at times structured to provide for guidance and are at times unstructured to allow for free individual expression to develop a positive self-image through appropriate and challenging experiences to learn self-discipline, positive work habits and independence through encouragement to develop a positive self-image through a relaxed, supportive climate, where each child is loved and valued for himself/herself.
