Philosophy 

• Centre is committed to providing a safe, warm and inviting environment in which children are free to develop and emerge as individuals. 
• Through a variety of enriching experiences, the centre endeavors to assist children in their exploration of the world around them. 
• Centre believes that children learn by doing and self-directing.  
• Centre believes children succeed in the future by learning to love school – their delight and spontaneous wonder will always be the centre’s first priority.
• Centre asks parents to send their child prepared for a full day of ‘work’ as a child’s work is their play.

Programs and Activities 

• Programs and activities are designed with the following goals in mind:
  • To build intrinsic motivation and a long-term love of learning for the child.
  • To allow the natural pace of individual and group learning to emerge, and not to be guided exclusively by the clock.
  • To recognize that critical learning takes place during conflict, negotiation, brainstorming, and resolution.
  • To support the varied learning styles (visual, auditory, sensory, verbal, etc) in ways that are also aware of gender differences.
  • To honor and welcome children with exceptionalities into their school and community with a supportive social learning style.
