Our Programs
Caledon East Children’s Place offers programs for Toddler, Preschool and School Age children.
Caledon East Children’s Place follows the “Ontario Pedagogy for the Early Years, How Does Learning Happen?” and aligns it with elements of a Reggio Emilia approach to learning.
The goals set for children are consistent with the Four Foundations, Ministry of Education pedagogy and principles.
- BELONGING: Cultivating authentic relationships and connections
- WELL BEING: Nurturing healthy development and well being
- ENGAGEMENT: Creating contexts for learning through exploration, play and inquiry
- EXPRESSION: Fostering communication and expression in all forms
Caledon East Children’s Place is committed to ensuring that the centre:
- Supports diversity to include cultural practices, gender, religious beliefs, social class, family composition, appearance, diverse abilities and lifestyle. Children have the right to be cared for in an environment located in their own community where they will grow, develop and learn.
- Practices, emphasizes and promotes active learning which means children have direct, hands-on experiences with people, objects, events, and ideas.
