Where the journey begins

 Each child that enrolls in Thorncliffe Park Day Care Centre is seen as competent and capable individuals. We will work together to ensure that their experiences are positive and reflects "How Does Learning Happen." In order to do that, we believe that it is important for us to provide a place where they feel safe, nurtured, and loved. We offer the opportunity for your child to develop and master their skills in all areas of his or her early stages of growth (ie physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and cognitive). We respect their individual needs to develop at their own pace and in their own style, allowing them to experience the joy and satisfaction that positive learning creates.

Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years is a professional learning resource guide about learning through relationships for those working with young children and families. It is intended to support pedagogy and curriculum/program development in early years programs. There are four foundations to How Does Learning Happen which is important for children to grow and flourish: Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement, and Expression.

These foundations, or ways of being, are a vision for

all children’s future potential and a view of what they should

experience each and every day. These four foundations apply

regardless of age, ability, culture, language, geography, or setting. They are conditions that children naturally seek for themselves.
