WELCOME!
Serendipity is the knack of making wonderful discoveries when not in search of them. Such special moments are the very essence of learning.
A little about us:
Our program at Serendipity Childcare Centre is a reflection of our philosophy and belief that children best learn and grow by being actively involved in their environment. We know how important the early years are in forming a solid foundation for a child's entire life. It is important to us to provide the best possible environment to assist the child to develop to their fullest potential, in their own way. Our philosophy supports a Play Based Learning approach. This approach supports children at their current developmental level and helps them to build upon it. This occurs in a social setting where children have opportunities to choose materials, ideas, and people to interact within the projects they initiate. Healthy child development today and a strong future tomorrow!
How Does Learning Happen?
Ontario's Pedagogy for the Early Years defines through relationships for those working with young children and families. How Does Learning Happen? supports pedagogy and curriculum/program development in early years programs. Pedagogy is "the understanding of how learning takes place and the philosophy and practice that support the understanding of learning." Curriculum (the content of learning) and pedagogy (how learning happens) in early years settings are shaped by views about children, the role of the educators and families, and relationships among them. The pedagogical document, How Does Learning Happen?, helps educators focus on interrelationships in the context of early years environments. It is organized around four foundations of learning that are important for children to grow and flourish: Belonging, Well-being, Engagement, and Expression. These four foundations apply regardless of age, ability, culture, language, geography, or setting. At Serendipity, we will use these foundations to make the highest quality program for every child.
