We have created a child-centered curriculum, inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our teachers follow flexible learning methods that are responsive to each child’s needs while encouraging them to develop social skills and respect for their surroundings.
We strive to create a learning community in which children feel motivated and inspired to find knowledge. We encourage the development of critical-thinking, problem-solving, and communication skills: attributes that will be in demand and inspire lifelong learning no matter what our students’ futures may hold. We celebrate individuality and support children to express their ideas with confidence as they explore the world. We equip them with the ability to succeed through practice, by showing them how to learn from their mistakes and improve. This is a method that they will be able to apply to any frustrating situation for the rest of their lives.
The school is open from 8:30-2:30, with extension care until 6:00pm and is open to children aged 2-6. We are a bilingual, mixed aged program.
