We believe that play provides opportunities for young children to learn about their world. Our teachers act as facilitators of play, promoting positive interactions with peers, and offering gentle guidance when necessary.They strive to provide a safe, nurturing, accepting, environment which encourages spontaneous play and fosters self-esteem. Open-ended materials, creative spaces and unique experiences, are made available so that the children can learn and be curious about the world around them.
We believe that children are unique individuals whose behavior and development are affected by their culture, environment and experiences. We also believe that communication between parents, children and caregivers is essential when guiding young children towards a healthy and happy life.
Educating children since 1997. For convenience, we have two locations in Burnaby, one coming soon to Coquitlam. We provide care for children ages 30 months to 5 years, as well as before and after school care servicing Nelson Elementary School. We provide an integrated curriculum based on Dr. Maria Montessori’s proven philosophy and principles. Each child is guided by certified professionals in a self-directed learning environment that fosters independence, responsibility, respect for others, and a love of learning.
Additionally we include; healthy snacks, weekly French classes where the children are exposed to basic French language, weekly Music classes, as well as weekly yoga classes carried out by a certified yoga instructor.
