About our program

Springridge Early Childhood Centre has programs for children from eighteen months to five years. We have maximum space for thirty children in our programs with a teacher-to-child ratio of 1:4 for toddlers and 1:6 for three to five-year-olds. 

We focus on building trusting relationships, providing sensory-motor experiences, developing key self-help skills, language and cognitive development, and basic social skills that encourage the development of early cooperative play skills and emotional regulation.

Children are encouraged to develop their self-confidence and social-emotional regulation in all their daily routines and activities.  Opportunities to explore and play in small groups with a variety of activities, materials, and equipment of their own choosing enhance their sense of well-being, confidence, and mastery.

Springridge spends a great deal of time outside enjoying our backyard, The Springridge Commons, and community parks/walks. We always strive to extend the children’s interests and follow their lead.

Other activities we do with the children include:

  • Baking, gardening, science, and nature exploration
  • Language and literacy experiences
  • Creative exploration through  dramatic play, music,  dance, movement, and art
  • Out trips to the local libraries and beaches
our philosophy

We are committed to providing a warm, nurturing environment where children feel safe to learn and gain independence.

We believe that children are entitled to opportunities which support their emotional, creative, cognitive, physical, social and language growth.

We believe in the importance and value of play as a medium through which children learn through a variety of concrete, hands-on sensory experiences.The uniqueness of each child is recognized and valued so that each child may develop at his or her own level.

We believe staff should be well trained and educated. Positive guidance techniques will be employed at all times.

We respect and support cultural differences.

We value strong, positive relationships with parents and strive to keep lines of communication open.
