The Early Learning Program provides inclusive preschool classes and childcare for children aged 3-5, with a focus on play based learning and social-emotional development.
About the program
We believe that children are unique, capable individuals who have a right to quality care and education. We believe in working in partnership with families to provide quality care and safe experiences for the development of the whole child. We believe that healthy relationships with educators and peers are the foundation of learning.
We support exploration of nature and believe that outdoor play is a cornerstone for children’s development. We believe in fostering a learning environment where children of all abilities can grow and develop in a fully integrated and inclusive classroom.
