Discovery Childcare Centre is a licensed group childcare facility with incorporated preschool program as well as KinderCare. We would like to respond to the needs of our community and the changing nature of early childhood education. In our centre all cultures are respected and we recognize and celebrate the children and their family's tradition.
Happy Learning Child Care Center is New Westminster's trusted provider for daycare services. We offer an innovative style of childcare that challenges and nurtures children, helping them grow and develop.
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.
At Starlight Child Care Centre we strongly believe that it is through play children learn best. We structured our daycare to provide a warm and safe environment with a wide range of materials which allow children to discover, create, explore, make choices and create to their own interests. Educating provides an opportunity for continuous learning and growth. In our competitive society it is important for children to not only receive a solid education, but to work with someone who is aware and sensitive to their individual needs.
We believe children are entitled to environments and opportunities that foster positive growth while being treated with dignity and respect. We recognize that play is a child's response to life and the medium through which he/she learns, and we therefore employ this principle in our day-to-day activities.
Mia Montessori Academy established in 2004, we offer Primary and Elementary programs that follow the AMI (Association Montessori International) philosophy. We are one of only 5 AMI Member Schools in the Lower Mainland, part of Canada's Montessori Quality Assurance (MQA) program.
We are committed to an educational environment that follows a true and fully certified Montessori approach which is designed to ensure the student is the owner of their education.
Our name, consistent with our vision, uses Italian as as homage to Maria Montessori's roots - 'Mia' means 'My' in Italian.
What does the Montessori approach and our school instil in each student? A sense of ownership over learning, a sense that it is 'Mia education'.
