Learn By Doing
Our knowledgeable, professional team of caregivers offers resources, and programming to challenge children and support them in a fun, nurturing and safe environment. Our program has a focus on a natural play; providing natural resources and focusing on the outdoors, as well as bringing the outdoors in. We follow the philosophy of Reggie Emilia which is an educational philosophy focused on preschool and primary education. It is a pedagogy described as student-centered and constructivist that uses self-directed, experiential learning in relationship-driven environments.
“The Wider the range of possibilities we offer children the more intense will be their motivations and the richer their experiences.”

Testimonials
What Our Families Have to SayMy daughter is currently attending Caledonia Early Care and Learning Center. The security of knowing the I need not worry about her safety or wellbeing is has been a catalyst to my ability to be successful.
When it was time to back to work I quickly realized the importance of quality early childhood education. I feel very fortunate to have my daughter attend Caledonia Early Care and Learning Centre.
From the first day my son started at Caledonia Early Care and Learning Centre, he loved it. He always tells me how much fun he has and about the friends he has made. The staff is so kind and caring and the facility itself is warm and inviting. They provide structure, but also opportunities to play and learn, and lots of outside time! I am so grateful that my son has the opportunity to attend such a wonderful daycare.
