Philosophy: Reggio Emilia approach
1st Impressions Early Learning Centre, we believe that children are curious, creative, capable, and competent learners. They are at the centre of our program and practice. We highly respect diversity; promoting and encouraging multiculturalism, which is evident with our staff members, educational program, and centre practices. We also value inclusion; making sure each child is given an equal opportunity for learning and growth. Educators strive to work in close partnership with families to provide high quality care and education for children within a welcoming and safe environment that feels like their second home.
