Westpark’s curriculum fosters a love for learning through a child-centered, inquiry-based approach, combining Emergent Learning and Reggio Emilia principles to support each child’s growth, creativity, and development.
At Westpark Early Learning Centre, we believe that learning should be meaningful, engaging, and guided by each child’s natural curiosity.
By combining the Emergent Curriculum with the Reggio Emilia approach, we create a dynamic environment where children explore, discover, and grow at their own pace.
This child-centered approach nurtures intellectual curiosity, social-emotional development, and creative expression, ensuring that every child feels valued, supported, and inspired on their learning journey.
At Westpark, we believe that a well-rounded education extends beyond the core curriculum. Our enrichment programs in French and Music give children opportunities to expand their creativity, communication, and cultural awareness from an early age.
French
French is introduced through joyful and engaging activities with our dedicated in-house French teacher. Using songs, stories, and games, children learn in a natural, playful way while building vocabulary and developing an early appreciation for French culture.
Music
Music is woven into each day as children explore sound, rhythm, and instruments from around the world. These lively sessions spark creativity, strengthen listening skills, and nurture a lifelong love for music.
Inquiry Based Learning
Children ask questions, explore interests, and investigate their surroundings, building curiosity, critical thinking, and problem-solving skills.
Project Based Learning
Long-term, real-world projects spark creativity, collaboration, and communication as children research and present their findings.
Collaborative Learning
Teamwork among children, educators, and families fosters empathy, social skills, and the sharing of ideas.
Experiential Learning
Hands-on, sensory-rich activities deepen understanding through active engagement with materials and environments.
Environment as the “Third Teacher”
Thoughtfully designed spaces inspire exploration, creativity, and independent learning.
Responsive Planning
Educators adapt to children’s interests and needs, creating dynamic, personalized learning experiences.
