Activities

Kidz Connect Daycare and OSC classrooms are full of what we call learning “provocations.” A child might see a bouquet of flowers next to an intentionally placed set of water colour paints and a blank piece of paper.

Kidz Connect Daycare and OSC follows the guiding principles of ‘Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Childcare Framework: ​

• Children’s life-long health, well-being, learning, and behavior are strongly connected to their early childhood experience.
• Childhoods differ depending on social, cultural, and economic circumstances.
• Children interact and learn in multiple learning communities and their learning is profoundly influenced by the relationships within and between these communities and specifically with respect for the family relationship.
• Children thrive when they are nurtured in close, consistent relationships, and their families benefit from these close caring relationships as well.
• Children are active co-constructors of knowledge through first-hand experiences and in reciprocal relationships with people and things in their environment.
• Children are unique learners who construct and represent knowledge using multimodal literacies for exploration and expression.
• Children are citizens and active participants in society.
