Our Ideology Go Up

# Our Ideology

### As early childhood educators, we all have our own philosophies and approaches to education. Our approach to teaching is created from a multitude of resources and probably includes knowledge from early childhood theorists, an understanding of child development, and our experiences with children in different learning environments.

Play-based learning programs include :

HighScope The Montessori Method Ontario Full Day Early Learning Ontario Early Years Centres Reggio Emilia Approach

HighScope is an example of a teacher-led approach. The philosophy is that children should be involved actively in their own learning.

Adults working with the children see themselves more as involved facilitators of play rather than managing the play itself.

The Montessori Method emphasizes self-directed activity on the part of the child and clinical observation on the part of the teacher.
The objective is to adapt the child's learning environment to his or her development level. This broad approach encourages children to learn through play.

Ontario Full Day Early Learning Kindergarten Program, for 4 and 5 year olds, is a school program consisting of exploration, investigation, guided and explicit instruction.

Ontario Early Years Centres is a parent-child interactive program with a focus on play-based learning.
Parents and caregivers stay with the child, and can obtain information about programs and services available for young children and their families.

The Reggio Emilia approach has a vision of the child as a competent learner, and has produced a child-directed curriculum model. The Reggio approach believes that children learn through interaction with others (including parents, staff and peers) in a friendly learning environment.

## Our Goal

### Our goal is to aid in your children's holistic development by providing a program that is varied, age appropriate and stimulating.
Our curriculum has been created to help your children develop socially, emotionally, physically, linguistically, and cognitively while keeping in mind the uniqueness of all children.
A wide variety of cognitively oriented toys and planned activities are available to stimulate the child's physical, emotional and intellectual growth, while discoveries are encouraged through the arts, drama, music, movement, literature and sciences. We also take time to teach positive social values and respect for all life forms.
