Site Tours bring early years professionals together to co-reflect on the powerful role of the environment in our work with young children and families. Site tours take place in early childhood settings across the local system and offer participants the opportunity to step outside of their own centres and organizations for a tour and meaningful dialogue with colleagues. The diverse ways in which our sector observes, reflects, collaborates, and documents our lives with children are highlighted.
On September 12, you are invited to join us at Aldborough EarlyON and Child Care Centre!
This is a unique site because it houses three unique programs: Aldborough Child Care Centre (Dutton Child Care), Tiny Tots Co-Operative Nursery School, and EarlyON West. These programs work collaboratively to provide rich experiences, share program ideas, events and materials. Within this building, Aldborough Child Care Centre also offers a school age program, furthering the collaboration between educators and connection between children.
During this site tour, we will get to visit all of these programs!
With the recognition that families are the experts on their children, they strive to include families in programming as much as possible, and have created some unique means of idea sharing and communication to ensure they are co-constructing an environment that reflects the children's interests. This centre is part of a community that prides itself on partnership and collaboration and have had visits from horses, the local fire department, and have even been able to visit local restaurants for a special ice cream day while school age children were able to learn culinary skills at the local restaurant and café! The environment itself is so home-like from the utilization of calming and not-overstimulating earth tones, while reflecting the children in the environment by having their creations displayed all throughout.
