Our Work
In partnership with the Board of Directors, staff and parents, we are currently writing our latest Strategic Plan for Nanabijou Childcare Centre. This new publication will offer our direction for 2025-2030.
The Reggio Emilia Philosophy
The Reggio Emilia philosophy is an innovative and inspiring approach to early childhood education, which values the child as strong, capable and resilient; rich with wonder and knowledge. As a starting place, the philosophy believes in the innate curiosity of children and aims to assist them with understanding their world and who they are in it.
The “100 Languages of the Child” recognizes that children have multiple ways of thinking, playing, exploring, speaking and doing. The Reggio Emilia Approach encourages children to use every tool they have to express themselves.
We strive to provide a joy-filled, imaginative and creative experience for you and hope Nanabijou Child Care Centre will quickly become an extension of your family and home.
