Curiosity is at the heart of our approach
Our programs are centered around three simple yet powerful ideas; helping children become independent, naturally growing relationships with parents, and developing a place of happiness inside each child.
Our educators serve as attentive guides and co-learners; observing, listening, and thoughtfully scaffolding children’s ideas to extend their thinking and inquiry. Through responsive relationships, we support the development of self-regulation, independence, and social-emotional well-being. We are committed to creating a safe, inclusive community where children’s voices are valued, creativity is encouraged, and all areas of development: cognitive, emotional, social, and physical, are nurtured through meaningful, play-based experiences.
Our spaces encourage participation from educators, children and families, and the practice of relationships as co-learner, co-researcher and co-imaginer of possibilities.
Everything in the prepared environment is purposefully designed to support children’s independence and self-mastery. Children have access to a range of open-ended materials, which they are allowed to explore based on their interests.
We develop children who are capable, accountable, and knowledgeable people who have the strong sense of self they will need to thrive in the real world.
The Comfort Project
Our not-for-profit helps us raise funds to purchase clothes, summer shoes, hats, books, toys, winter jackets, snowshoes, and other clothing items so that it can be redistributed to families in our communities and centre programs who need them. This way, we ensure our children have the clothing and comfort they need.
