Young Academics Club

About Us

Our Philosophy

Young Academics Club recognizes that the early years are the foundation for preparing our children to be lifelong learners; therefore, we strive to establish a community where children’s ideas and questions are respected and where they are guided through the process of building a meaningful foundation of education through hands-on learning experiences.

We have drawn upon the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches in developing our own education philosophy through nature-based play and education. Our program links the indoor classrooms and outdoor garden spaces to provide a creative learning environment. A lot of thought and effort has gone into creating a nature-based facility that fosters children’s creativity, exploration, and development.

Our philosophy and our guiding principles are implemented all across our centre.

Our Curriculum

We combine what children are curious about and what they wonder about to wrap the curriculum around learning in meaningful ways. Our curriculum focuses on child-initiated exploration, as opposed to strict, fact-based lessons. We focus on the whole child as we strive to develop their social, physical, intellectual, creativity, and emotional skills.
"Education is not
preparation for life,
education is life itself"

Our Centre

Young Academics Club is a purpose-designed learning environment. This childcare has been designed by early childhood educators in collaboration with industry-leading architects and engineers to create an environment that is home-like, nurturing, and stimulating.
This centre is a fully licensed facility, and our programs operate from 7:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Monday-Friday, with the exception of all statutory holidays.
"School is a building
which has four walls
with tomorrow inside."

Our Club

Our foundation is based upon a mutual trust and partnership between our committed staff and the families. Our community is made up of children, their families, and our teaching teams. We collaborate, communicate, and make decisions with the members of our community to share their voices in the best interest of the child. We are who we are because of our community.
"Children are the priority.
Change is the reality.
Collaboration is the strategy."

Our Learning Environment

Our learning environments have been thoughtfully designed with the little explorers in mind; allowing them to freely navigate while nurturing their minds, increasing their sense of wonder, and helping them reach their full potential in all aspects of life. We value both the indoors and outdoors equally, and have a particular emphasis on what environments and materials can provide and how they are presented as we believe this directly affects the way a child comes to the learning experience.

Our vibrant, inclusive, and welcoming centre encourages exploration, play, and learning possibilities, which allows our children to be active learners, curious about their environment and the people around them.
"Almost all creativity
involves purposeful play."

Our Playground

Active children are better prepared to learn and can develop habits that will last a lifetime. The thoughtful educators at Young Academics Club encourage children to have at least one hour of active playtime on our playground every day. Our playground is located on the east side of our building; it is safe, secure, and child-friendly.

  • Soccer

Garden Program

We believe that by implementing a vegetable/herb garden we can revolutionize the way children think about foods and the environment. We encourage children to plant, see how vegetables/herbs are grown, and share healthy foods together. Our Garden Program creates strong connections between what children grow and what they eat.
"Play is the highest
