At Beacon House Early Learning Academy, we believe that play is the foundation of meaningful learning in early childhood. Through play, children explore, experiment, and make sense of the world around them while developing critical thinking, problem-solving, and social skills. Play fosters creativity, curiosity, and confidence, allowing each child to learn at their own pace and in ways that are most natural to them. Our educators thoughtfully design play-based experiences that promote language, literacy, numeracy, and emotional growth in a safe and nurturing environment.
Child Centered Learning Academy: Our child centred approach respects each child’s interests, abilities, and developmental pace.
Educators act as guides: Creating meaningful experiences that build on children’s natural curiosity, creativity, and sense of wonder. This empowers children to take an active role in their own learning journey.
Respect and safety: We foster a culture of respect where every child, family, and educator feels valued, heard, and included. A safe, nurturing environment ensures children can explore, learn, and grow with confidence physically, emotionally, and socially.
Inclusion and diversity: We celebrate the uniqueness of every child, family, and staff member, embracing diverse backgrounds, abilities, and cultures. Our inclusive environment ensures that all children feel a strong sense of belonging and respect.
Our emergent curriculum is guided by children’s interests, ideas, and inquiries, allowing learning to unfold naturally. Educators observe, listen, and plan meaningful experiences along with the guided curriculum that build on each child’s curiosity and developmental needs.
1. Social/Emotional Development
We nurture children’s ability to build relationships, express emotions, and develop empathy. Children learn to cooperate, share, and develop a strong sense of self and belonging.
2. Language and Literacy
Through stories, songs, conversations, and print-rich environments, children build communication, vocabulary, and early reading and writing skills essential for lifelong learning.
3. Cognitive Skills and Problem Solving
Children are encouraged to think critically, ask questions, and explore solutions. Hands-on activities spark curiosity and develop reasoning and decision-making skills.
4. Physical Literacy
Gross and fine motor activities support strength, balance, coordination, and body awareness. Outdoor play, movement games, and sensory tasks promote physical confidence and well-being.
5. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math)
Children engage in hands-on exploration of materials, patterns, and concepts that build early science, math, and problem-solving skills in fun and meaningful ways.
6. Creative Expressions
Through art, music, movement, and storytelling, children express ideas, feelings, and imagination, fostering creativity, originality, and self-expression.
7. Dramatic and Imaginative Play
Role play, dress-up, and pretend scenarios allow children to explore real-world situations, build social skills, and expand creativity in safe, playful ways.
