Welcome to the world of Early Childhood - a place for wonder, excitement, and discovery!
Our Early Learning Program at a glance...
Nurturing and Safe Environment
At Canadian Academy, your child will explore the world around them in a warm, caring, and child-centered environment. We focus on creating an environment in which the social and emotional wellbeing of each student can flourish. Our small class sizes create a sense of community and ensure a safe experience; Early Childhood assistants are always with the children including class time, lunch time, and outdoor play times.
Play-based Learning
Most learning in Early Childhood happens through play - when children's intellectual and learning capacity is at its highest. In all types and stages of play, children are refining what it means to create, innovate, explore, and develop as active learners.
Developing Self Confidence
We listen carefully to our children’s thinking, theories, and questions to guide their natural curiosity. Children move on from the Early Learning Center confident and capable, seeing the world as an exciting place to explore and make discoveries.
Purpose-Built Facilities
Our Early Learning Activities Center (ELAC) is a space dedicated to our youngest learners. Classrooms are linked together for collaborative learning, and each room opens onto a playground reserved just for our youngest students. The Early Learning library, music room, and art room are located close by.
