Trusted Child Care Services in Your Community
Edenwold Early Years & Youth Centre
Our Vision
At the Edenwold Early Years & Youth Centre we know children develop and learn best with hands on experiences through play and exploration. Our program practices emergent curriculum, allowing the interests of the children to determine the learning content. The program allows children the opportunity to make choices about their activities, fostering independence and creative experience. We recognize children as competent learners and need respect to holistic development and learning areas – social, emotional, physical, intellectual, and spiritual. The children and educators at the EEYYC are co-learners in the exploration of projects. Free play occurs for a substantial portion of the day both indoors and outdoors with supervision used as an educational interaction.
We strive to provide the children with strong positive relationships with our staff and other peers. All Early Childhood Educators (ECE’s) of the EEYYC provide the children with a stimulating and dynamic environment that fosters their learning and development. The EEYYC understands the rights of each child in our care. Our program respects the individuality of each child and adaptations are made in the schedule and activities to meet individual needs. All children including those with intensive needs will be included within early learning environment and the regular activities of the group. The EEYYC program is based on developmentally appropriate practice of each child being mindful of all underlying values of parents and caregivers of the children in our care.
