Philosophy

We believe that every family should have access to a quality inclusive childcare setting for their children. By providing a warm, nurturing and safe environment, which allows children the opportunity to nourish their natural love of learning.

We will encourage children to express both positive and negative feelings in appropriate ways. Through appropriate experiences we strive to meet the diverse developmental needs of children, to promote a positive attitude towards life long learning.

Meeting the needs of the family and the whole child, encouraging independence in turn helping them to develop a positive self-concept. We provide a consistent and intriguing environment where we can provide for experiences that facilitate a child’s feeling of belonging to family, community and the world at large.

Create a learning environment through play and social interaction these experiences will be child initiated and teacher facilitated through open-ended activities. This developmental approach will be done through play centers, crafts, stories, music and movement, and group times.  Provide a safe and happy environment for children that will stimulate their physical, intellectual, social and emotional growth at their own pace.

 

Goals and Objectives

The goal of Curious Minds Learning Center is to make each child’s first school experience a positive one, encouraging positive feelings about self, the school and environment. Through a variety of centers and play experiences Curious Minds Learning Center will provide an environment that encourages children to play and work independently and in a group. Curious Minds Learning Center will provide opportunities for each child’s self-expression and foster their appreciation through language, art, music and dramatic play.

Curious Minds Learning Center will help children to recognize the rights and property of others and to share, cooperate and solve problems independently. To stimulate each child by providing opportunities for the child to evaluate, apply and recall knowledge in order to bring greater understanding, awareness and curiosity to their thought process. Provide experiences for individuals or groups to share: books, audio-visuals and increase their attention span. Introduce the use of number, letters, concepts of time and develop the ability to think logically and make associations.

Curious Minds Learning Center will keep open lines of communication between parents and teachers about a child’s overall development.

A School within a School

We are located in two classrooms within Glenwood Elementary.

This provides the pre-school age children to not only the care and learning experience of their own centre. It offers them an introduction to what school will be like for them when they enter kindergarten.  Curious Minds has developed a great working relationship with the school and the children get to watch and participate in school activities.  They are able use some of the school facilities and meet school Staff and Administration.

The out of school care allows children who wish to participate in school extra curricular activities, like choir or sports, to attend and then join us afterwards, all without leaving the school or arranging special transportation.
