Programs We Offer

A proven approach

The Schoolhouse Playcare Centre is committed to inclusive child care. Within our programs, observations of the children are completed daily. These observations are instrumental to the Reggio Emilia approach. From these observations Educators are able to deconstruct and help frame children's thoughts, ideas and actions into the curriculum.

All children registered in the Infant, Toddler, and Preschool programs will have a portfolio which will document their thinking, personality and developmental journey. Portfolios are made available for parents to look through on a regular basis.
