Abegweit First Nation Early Childhood Centre
Business Description
The Early Years Centre offers a high quality early learning environment for children ages 0 to 5 years. Inside our school, we have learning centers to facilitate growth in creativity, language, math, cognitive, social, science, fine and gross motor skills and dramatic play. We promote Mi'kmaw language and culture both at circle time, and casually throughout the day.
We believe in the following principles:
- All children have a right to an Early Childhood Program.
- We support and encourage every child to enjoy life-long learning.
- We believe that each child is a gift to their community.
- Any child, regardless of their ability, will be accepted and supported.
- We support parents and guardians as the primary teachers and caregivers of their children.
- We recognize and support the role of the extended family in teaching and caring for children.
- We recognize the broader Aboriginal community as having a role in the raising of our children.
- We believe in modeling and promoting a healthy and active lifestyle.
- We believe in providing children and parents with opportunities to learn about and further develop nutritious and healthy eating habits.
- We believe in encouraging respect for the values, cultures and traditions of all people.
