Learning. Caring. Sharing. Growing.
We provide care for children 3 months to 10 years of age and serve over 800 children a day through seven (7) centres in Kitchener, Waterloo and Cambridge. We employee over 100 Registered Early Childhood Educators (RECE) to help us maximize the developmental potential of each child in our care.
Our registered Early Childhood Educators (RECEs) use play-based learning to maximize each child's developmental potential. Play-based learning " builds upon children's natural inclination to make sense of the world through play, where RECEs participate in play, guiding children's planning, decision-making and communications, and extending children's explorations with narrative, novelty and challenges".
Our program uses play themes as a starting point to guide learning and to provide a basic structure and program calendar to meet the needs of Owl members. Play themes are based on our observations of the children and may be adjusted or repeated in response to their interest and natural curiosity. RECEs provide support and guidance as children plan their learning, engage with others, reflect on what they have learned and identify opportunities for new learning.
RECEs engage children in six primary areas of learning that support children as they move throughout the early years (i.e., 0 - 6 years).
creativity/innovation,
health & physical activity,
language (including an introduction to French and other languages)
numeracy,
personal and social development, and
science.
