Zac's Childcare and Montessori School

Zac’s philosophy reflects the view of children as being competent, capable, curious and rich in potential with the support of age appropriate equipment, flexible routines, and provocative environments that encourage curiosity. Our goals for children, consistent with the Ministry of Education pedagogy include the following: Every child has a sense of belonging when he or she is connected to others and contributes to their world. Every child is developing a sense of self, health, and well-being. Every child is an active and engaged learner who explores the world with body, mind, and sense. Every child is a capable communicator who expresses himself or herself in many ways. To foster learning and support our children’s interests, Zac’s offers a variety of daily activities that nurtures the continuum of development presented in each age group. These areas include: Language and physical literacy Numeracy Music, dance and visual arts Active Outdoor Play Science, nature and technology Construction and design Rest time
