About Us

Your Child Is in Great Hands

Philosophy

​

Knob Hill Day Nursery’s philosophy is based on the principle of viewing each child as unique and an individual who learns at his/her own pace and in various ways. Each child is viewed as competent, capable, curious and rich in potential and able to contribute as an individual and collectively to our community.

 

Knob Hill Day Nursery incorporates “How does Learning Happen?” (A resource to support curriculum and pedagogy in Ontario’s Early Childhood settings) and uses it as a guideline to develop our program and to ensure that we are offering opportunities to promote the four foundational conditions (or ways of being which are Belonging, Well-being, Engagement, and Expression) that are essential for each child’s growth and flourishing.
