THE MAX MISSION, PHILOSOPHY & CORE VALUES

MISSION

It is our mission at Max Families to help children lead better lives by providing active, enriching, high-quality programs in the right environments. Our vision for the future is simple: To inspire and enable our community to live their happiest, healthiest lives. 

PHILOSOPHY

At Max Families, it is our core belief that physical activity is critical to a child's wellbeing and essential in developing lifelong healthy habits. Our program is developed and led by professionals in Early Childhood Education. We are constantly evolving to create a curriculum that keeps children engaged and having fun. We aim to give children choices in our daily planning to create a feeling of ownership and excitement for all. We recognize that nature has endless benefits for children's wellbeing, therefore our programs take place in both the indoor and outdoor environments. 

CORE VALUES

Encouraging Physical Activity

The primary focus of our program is giving children the opportunity to be physically active. We encourage movement through sports, non-competitive games, and free play. Children are always given a choice of activities. We understand that school age children need time for child-led play and autonomy, especially after a long school day. 

Supporting Holistic Wellness

Physical wellbeing supports all other areas of development: social, emotional, and cognitive. To further encourage growth in these areas our program includes exposure to the arts, time in nature, free play, and the opportunity to build healthy relationships. 

Creating a Supportive Community

At Max we honor each child's individual needs in order to build relationships built on understanding and mutual respect. Our program also aims to expose children to the community around them. These relationships give children the foundation they need to feel safe, a sense of belonging, build self-confidence, develop social skills, and learn responsible citizenship.
