La Citadelle Daycare
Our Philosophy
La Citadelle Daycare is a bilingual private institution that aims to provide a unique and enriching educational experience for children. Our program offers an engaging and interactive play-based environment where caring relationships between children, adults, and families are prioritized. We strive to create a warm atmosphere where children feel comfortable to participate, express themselves, socialize, and have fun. At La Citadelle, we value and embrace the diversity of our classrooms, ensuring that every child feels welcomed and included. In our Daycare program, we focus on maximizing each child's learning potential. We view children as active participants in their environment and natural problem solvers. Learning is seen as an active process, with opportunities for exploration and interaction being crucial for a child's growth and development. Our dedicated staff understands that each child develops at their own pace, and we provide support and guidance throughout their learning journey. We celebrate communication and expression to foster a sense of inclusion and belonging. At La Citadelle Daycare, we are committed to creating a nurturing and empowering environment for every child.
Inclusive Education
At La Citadelle, we embrace and welcome every child with open arms. Our main goal is to create inclusive environments that prioritize the well-being of all children in our care.
Diversity is at the core of our values. We believe that the unique backgrounds and languages of our children and families enrich our community in profound ways. To ensure fairness, we provide racially sensitive and culturally appropriate services, making sure everyone has equal access to our programs.
We are committed to fostering an environment that respects and celebrates the beliefs, values, and practices of all individuals. At La Citadelle, we cherish the social, cultural, and economic strength that comes from embracing ethno-racial and linguistic diversity.
Hands On Learning
We believe that children are curious and natural problem solvers, actively involved in their learning journey. For them, learning is an exciting adventure where exploring and interacting with their surroundings play a crucial role in their growth and development. While there is a common sequence of development that all children follow, we recognize that each child progresses at their own pace and in their special and individual ways.
Our Child Care Program Is Designed To:
To promote children's holistic development, it is essential to encourage positive interactions and effective communication among them. Furthermore, supporting their self-regulation skills aids in developing emotional and behavioral control. By fostering exploration, play, and inquiry, children are encouraged to discover and learn through hands-on experiences. It is crucial to provide opportunities for child-initiated activities while also offering adult support when needed. Finally, creating authentic and lasting relationships with others in the program helps children develop social skills and a sense of belonging.
