About EDU Children’s Academy in Vaughan

We offer a completely unique curriculum, built upon various child-centred educational philosophies such as the Montessori Method, The Reggio Approach, and High Scope. We care for children from 3 months to 6 years and provide a range of age-appropriate resources and activities to encourage their development right up until they are ready to join school.

Our Philosophy

The philosophy of our child care centre, combining Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches, is rooted in the belief that children are competent, curious, and capable learners who deserve a nurturing environment that respects their individuality and fosters their natural love for learning. Drawing from Montessori principles, we provide children with hands-on experiences and a prepared environment rich in developmentally appropriate materials, allowing them to explore and discover at their own pace. From Reggio Emilia, we embrace the idea of the child as a competent communicator and collaborator, valuing their voices and perspectives in shaping their learning experiences. 

Through this unique blend, we promote independence, creativity, critical thinking, and a sense of community, empowering children to become lifelong learners and active contributors to their world. Our philosophy celebrates the diversity of each child and honors their innate potential, guiding them on a journey of discovery, self-expression, and meaningful engagement with the world around them.

Our philosophy emphasizes the holistic development of each child, recognizing their unique strengths, interests, abilities, and the creation of an environment that fosters independence, creativity, and critical thinking.  Rooted in the belief that children are competent, curious, and capable learners who deserve a nurturing environment that respects their individuality and fosters their natural love for learning, we provide children with hands-on experiences and a prepared environment rich in developmentally appropriate materials, allowing them to explore and discover at their own pace. 

We also embrace the idea of the child as a competent communicator and collaborator, valuing their voices and perspectives in shaping their learning experiences. Our philosophy celebrates the diversity of each child and honors their innate potential, guiding them on a journey of discovery, self-expression, and meaningful engagement with the world around them.

Merging Teaching and Childcare

We offer a variety of programs, including daycare for infants, toddlers and preschoolers. Each system is unique and progressive towards the needs of each child, and what form of learning and development they require between those ages. Each room has a core element of its program, with our staff providing materials of interest and learning, fostering their growth of independence and problem-solving.

We believe that it’s never too early to start learning and that it’s vital to always present opportunities for children to learn and grow as soon as they start at our setting. 

By developing our programs with curriculum experts and childcare specialists, we’ve been able to hone in on what makes early education a success and created a learning program that allows our children to enter school seamlessly.

When your child comes to EDU Children’s Academy, they will have a huge advantage from our core philosophy. Because we care about every aspect of your child’s growth and development. From early introductions to STEM and other foundational educational cornerstones to comprehensive and thoughtful social skill development at every step of the way, we are committed to providing the best atmosphere for your child to learn and grow.
