Operated by the SFU Childcare Society, it is the first childcare centre in the world to integrate the most advanced environmental design and the renowned Reggio Emilia childcare program. SFU Faculty of Education faculty and student researchers also use the setting to investigate optimal ways to provoke and sustain learning in Reggio-inspired classrooms and how this holistic approach effects social development and learning interactions within the classroom community. The childcare facility itself becomes a laboratory for self-directed learning.
We provide for the children a setting where they will understand and believe that every child and adult should be considered equal, regardless of skin colour, ethnic background or disability. We are teaching to respect and value ourselves and others to be an essential task in early childhood.
L'Île-aux-Enfant daycare welcomes toddlers and preschoolers from 18 months to 5 years old in a francophone environment. Our qualified and experienced educational team offers a diversity of activities in French that will support your child through her/his physical, psychological, emotional, language and social milestones in a friendly and respectful environment.
