Our philosophy

Childhood experiences set the stage for a lifetime of learning.

Children are in the most amazing phase of their life, and we want to be elemental in it. One step at a time, we give children up to 5 years old a rich, fulfilling learning experience with a focus on mindful learning.

Our Reggio-inspired approach suits the full range of temperaments and learning styles. Our centre is licensed by the Fraser Health authority.

  • Safe, clean and child friendlya warm, nurturing environment
  • Beside Goldstone Parkample natural outdoor space

Our program

Carefully planned to meet a child’s need for fun and excitement, while providing learning opportunities for physical, cognitive, emotional and social growth.

Every part has a purpose. We follow the child’s lead, and take inspiration from the environment, the seasons and our surroundings.

An important part of every day

Mindful Moment

Before we begin our day, we calm our bodies and collect ourselves, breathing deeply until the sound of our bell fades away.

Try it with us: three slow breaths.

Ready when you are

  • Social emotional development

    Free Play

    Children choose where to play, from pretend play, drama and building blocks to table toys, a library corner, arts and crafts and sensory activities. Each area is thoughtfully set up for their development, and educators offer positive guidance as children learn to share, respect limits and play together.

  • Being responsible

    Clean Up

    A five-minute reminder helps children know what to expect. Tidying their play area, and helping friends with theirs, teaches them to act on information and clean up after themselves.

  • Participation

    Circle Time

    We gather on the carpet for a greeting song, a chat about the weather, stories, discussions, movement songs and games. It builds thinking, listening and talking skills, and is a great way to introduce new ideas as a group.

  • Leadership

    Show and Tell

    Children bring something special from home to show and talk about with their friends, building self-esteem, a sense of belonging and the confidence to express their thoughts.

  • Health and well-being

    Snack Time

    We eat together in small groups and chat about all sorts of things. An educator sits with the children as a role model and guides conversation about health and well-being.

  • Physical Education

    Outdoor, indoor, yoga and music movement

    Park play, neighbourhood walks, playground fun, music, movement and yoga, always supervised, with a first aid kit on every outing. Children learn to solve problems, share and respect each other’s feelings while building physical, intellectual and spatial abilities.

  • Creativity and imagination

    Arts and Crafts

    An open-ended art table with materials and support on hand, where there is no right or wrong way to create, plus structured art on some days. It is the process, and not the product, that is important.

  • Each part of our program is flexible and suited to our children’s needs.
