A Childcare Centre in Abbotsford.
Nurturing Curiosity, Autonomy, and a Sense of Security
Opening 2026
Respectful
We practice respectful care by slowing down, observing, and listening deeply to children, trusting in their competence and inviting them to participate in every aspect of their daily routines as valued partners.
Responsive
We design environments and experiences that respond to children’s questions, interests, and ideas, fostering creativity and co-construction of knowledge alongside educators, families, and peers.
Relational
We nurture growth through play, relationships, and active exploration, recognizing that learning arises from meaningful interactions among children, educators, and their environment.
Our Teaching Philosophy
At the Nadiya Clemance Centre, we believe that every child is a capable and competent learner who deserves respect and trust from the very beginning. Through respectful caregiving practices, we slow down, listen deeply, and invite children to be active participants in their daily routines, affirming their autonomy and dignity. We create environments and experiences that respond to children’s natural curiosity, encouraging exploration, creativity, and the co-construction of knowledge in partnership with peers, educators, and families.
We also recognize that learning and growth emerge through play and relationships. We nurture the whole child (socially, emotionally, physically, and cognitively) by supporting meaningful interactions that foster belonging, joy, and lifelong learning.
