Our Philosophy
We believe that every child is capable, curious, and full of potential. Our philosophy is rooted in respect for each child as an individual, and inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our role as educators is to nurture the natural spark of wonder each child has. We will support them in a safe environment as they grow, learn, and explore the world around them.
Our role...
Our teachers play many roles. That of observers and listeners. Noticing the games children play, the questions they ask, and listening deeply to gain insight on their experiences.
As co-learners we aim to wonder alongside children. Encouraging them to think critically, test ideas and see teachers as partners in their discovery.
As guides our teachers provide scaffolding to support children’s experiences without taking over. We create environments that invite explorations and provide tools and materials to help children explore and express themselves.
As documenters our teachers make children’s learning visible through photos, notes, and displays. This documentation honors the children’s experience and helps families to see the richness of their childs day. This also creates opportunity for our teachers to reflect on and extend learning.
As community builders we aim to nurture the relationships between children, families, and the wider community. We hope each child will have a sense of belonging in their classroom and beyond.
