Our Mission
What We Stand For
Our approach to early childhood education is based on the guiding principles of How Does Learning Happen? These principles inform every aspect of our curriculum and are applicable to all children, regardless of age, ability, or background:
- Belonging: Fostering meaningful connections among children, educators, and families.
- Wellbeing: Prioritizing physical and emotional health to support optimal development.
- Engagement: Encouraging active, exploratory learning through play and inquiry.
- Expression: Supporting communication in all its forms, enabling children to share their ideas and feelings.
We view each child as an individual with unique abilities and potential. Our programs are designed to give children the opportunity to explore, imagine, and create in a safe and supportive environment that promotes social, intellectual, physical, and emotional growth.
Our Facilities
We Are Providing an Environment for Our Students to Grow & Excel
Our outdoor playground is thoughtfully designed to support children’s creativity, physical development, and social interactions. With age-appropriate equipment, including a drama stage, sand and water play areas, and a chalkboard, the space encourages imaginative and expressive play. The paved section is ideal for gross motor experiences such as tricycle riding and ball games. Children spend at least two hours outdoors daily, weather permitting.
Our Educators
Our team of Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) are highly qualified and dedicated to the well-being and development of each child in our care. Educators design play-based curricula that are responsive to children’s strengths, interests, and developmental needs. Our staff participate in ongoing professional development to ensure they are using the most effective, research-based methods in early childhood education. They are also trained in behavior management techniques such as self-regulation, creating a positive and nurturing environment for learning.
Enrichment Programs and Daily Wellbeing
Extra Curricular Experiences
We believe in offering a holistic early childhood experience by incorporating enriching extra-curricular experiences that support children’s overall development. These experiences include:
- Music and Movement: This program is designed to nurture a love of music while promoting physical coordination and gross motor development. Through rhythmic movements, dancing, and musical play, children develop an understanding of rhythm, balance, and coordination in a fun and engaging environment.
- Storytelling: Storytelling fosters early literacy, imagination, and listening skills. Our educators encourage children to participate in interactive storytelling sessions where they engage with stories through various forms, including role play, puppets, and creative retelling. This builds language development, comprehension, and a love of reading.
French Program
Our French Program offers children exposure to French language and culture through immersive experiences. Designed for children who may have some basic French skills but do not speak the language at home, this program integrates French into daily routines such as reading, writing, singing, and play. Nearly 50% of the day is spent in French instruction, helping children build confidence in a second language.
Health and Nutrition
Nutrition plays a key role in our childcare philosophy. We provide nutritious snacks and lunches, catered daily by Food for Tots, and encourage children to develop self-help skills during mealtimes. Children sit in small groups where they can self-serve and engage in social interactions, learning about food and nutrition through hands-on experiences.
