Welcome to our school

Our program recognizes and incorporates the provincial pedagogy for early learning, the Early Learning for Every Child Today principles as well as the framework of "How Does Learning Happen" to support the children in achieving goals and to meet the expectations for programs by building on the four foundations for healthy growth and development.

Our strategies for healthy growth and development

Foundations	Goals for Children	Expectations for Program
Belonging	Every child has a sense of belonging when he/she is connected to others and contributes to his/her world.	Cultivate respectful relationships and connections to create a sense of belong among and between children, adults, and the world around us.
Well-Being	Every child is developing a sense of self and health and well-being	Nurture children's healthy development and support their growing sense of self
Engagement	Every child is an active and engaged learner who explores the world with his/her senses, body and mind	Provide environments and experiences to engage children in active, creative and meaningful exploration and learning
Expression	Every child is a capable communicator who is able to express his/herself in many ways	Foster communication and expression in all forms
