At First Avenue Child Care, our philosophy is to nurture and empower young minds in a shared relationship with the families we serve. We aim to establish a child centered program envisioned by the guidelines set forth by CCLR. In combining the principles set forth by the Early Learning Framework of BC and the Montessori approach, it is our intention to develop a genuine love of learning in our children so that they can achieve their true potential.
The well-balanced program is geared towards children ranging in ages from 2.5 years to 6 years. Children will be engaged daily in age-appropriate activities based on the B.C. Education Curriculum Core Competencies and The B.C. Early Learning Framework Living Inquiries. Our environment is specifically designed to encourage children and adults to learn and think together with focus on the well-being and belonging of the community through collaborative communication and world literacies. We value the diversity of cultural identities, social responsibility and engagement with others, materials, and the world. We strive to create pathways to learning together through collaborative dialogue, critical reflection, and a pedagogy of listening.

The Montessori method is oriented to nurture the academic, emotional, and physical well-being of a child in a non-discriminatory way. Our Child Care is a learning environment which fosters independent thinking and creative learning as we build critical and analytical skills during the formative years.Furthermore, our “open classroom” environment provides a challenging and socially stimulating experience that fosters great joy in learning as the children make their own choices and discoveries as they move freely throughout the space. Using the Montessori materials, children learn to grow at their own rate and according to their own interests. The children develop independence and responsibility as they acquire valuable social, emotional, perceptual, intellectual, and physical skills. The classroom is divided into 5 core Montessori areas; Practical life, Sensorial, Language, Math and Cultural, referred to as “The prepared environment”. The prepared environment is carefully designed with age-appropriate materials for children to work with. Each child has a lesson plan created specifically for them to meet their individual needs. We evaluate the child’s progress regularly. The children work individually as well as in small groups allowing them to refine their social and team building skills.
