Early Learning
Early Learning celebrates and empowers the unique identity of each learner.
By focusing on building caring relationships, we allow learners to feel safe, valued, seen, and heard as they begin their educational journey. We create nurturing environments that ground learners in play, language, and culture where families are welcomed and connected.
Relationships
Families are honoured and welcomed as the knowledge holders and primary educators of their children.
Connection to educators, land, and community are necessary for continued growth.
Safe and secure relationships are integral to early learning.
Play
Play is purposeful.
All play is nurtured by a caring and curious educator who learns and discovers alongside the learner.
Play is integral to well-being and learning.
Language
Educators listen to and honour all the ways learners express themselves and provide environments rich in local First Nations’ languages.
Learners engage with stories, music, and art that is meaningful to them, their families, and communities.
All learners’ languages and cultures are welcomed, valued, and woven into early learning environments.
