About
About the Centre:
Bluebird Children's Centre is a small group Infant/Toddler centre in the Yennadon neighbourhood of Maple Ridge (5 minutes from downtown). I run the child care program out of my home and am licensed for a maximum of 4 children under 36 months.
It is a play-based centre which means children are involved in many different kinds of activities designed to help young
learners explore, discover and grow. My program is not-theme based, but rather based on an “emergent curriculum”. I will be paying close attention to what the children’s interests are and planning our art, circle time and other activities based on what I observe.

Philosophy:
I believe that young children learn best through play based activities. I believe in providing a positive, happy, safe environment where the children feel comfortable trying new experiences and where respect for self and others is
nurtured. I believe that children reach their developmental milestones at a range of ages and learn in different ways and I will do my best to foster their learning. I appreciate and celebrate each child’s uniqueness
