Kindercare

Location: Frog Hollow Neighbourhood House
Kindercare Open House 2012
Frog Hollow’s Kindercare Program follows a child oriented, play based philosophy inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our program includes an enriched component with the image of the child in focus. Emergent curriculums allow for teachers to follow the lead of children as they emerge into learning through play, exploration and discovery. Teachers assist in facilitating children with three key components of emergent curriculum learning, which consist of the adult teacher, the child teacher and the child's environment.
