Children’s World is a unique childcare centre that embeds Japanese language and culture into its daycare, preschool, and toddler programs. This creates an immersive and culturally enriched environment in which our educators plan activities that account for a child’s interests, strengths, needs, and lived realities as part of their learning and development.

This approach allows us to create a warm, welcoming, and inclusive space for children and their families where they can connect to a larger community that shares their values. Many of our families are able to connect with parents of children, participate in community events, and continue on into our language school programs after graduating from Children’s World.

Emergent Curriculum

We dedicate to childcare excellence and its staff follow the concept of Emergent Curriculum. Emergent Curriculum is a philosophy that originated in Reggio Emilia, Italy and is based on respect, responsibility, and community through a child-guided curriculum. Relationships are at the very heart of the philosophy and suggests that children have three teachers:

• The parent who takes and active role in guiding a child.
• The classroom teacher who takes on the role of a researcher and engages the child in conversation.
• The environment which is both functional and reflective of the child’s learning.
• It is the child’s relationship with all three – parent, teacher, environment – that sparks their learning.
