We recognizes each child is a unique individual who brings his or her own abilities to the program and deserves the encouragement and space to try new things, explore new ideas and develop their own unique creativity.

We provide an environment that fosters curiosity, one that allows children to explore. We believe that every child deserves a safe and caring environment (a place where children want to be and where they feel “at home”), in which to grow and develop to their maximum potential.

We understand the importance of taking children’s stages of development into consideration. For each child, their stage of development is an individualized and complex interplay between developmental factors and their unique family, community and life experiences. In each case, we aim to integrate all areas of the child’s development into our program in a holistic way.

Our goals for children, consistent with the Alberta’s Education’s requirements include the following:

•  Every child has a sense of belonging when he or she are connected to others and contributes to their world.

• Every child is developing a sense of self, health, and well-being.

• Every child is an active and engaged learner who explores the world with body, mind, and senses.

• Every child is a capable communicator who expresses himself or herself in many ways.

• Children’s interests are valuable to their learning and offer a rich variety of experiences. 

The type of activities include:

• sensory/art including drama, music, dance and visual arts

• language and listening (Spanish & English)

• science and cognitive/manipulative

• construction and block design

• daily opportunities for physical activity and active outdoor play

• opportunities for school-age children to work on their homework

• rest time for children who require it, based on their developmental needs

• opportunities for children to develop social skills and relationships

 Our programs are designed to:

• encourage children to interact and communicate in a positive way and support their ability to self-regulate

• foster the children’s exploration, play and inquiry

• provide child-initiated and adult-supported experiences

• offer opportunities to create authentic lasting relationships with others in the program.
