Whatever your child's stage of development, Kinderoo Children's Academy has an early childhood education program curriculum to meet his or her early childhood education needs.

The project approach, modeled after the municipal preschools of Reggio Emilia, Italy, is a renowned educational approach based on children's learning through play, art, music, technology, parent participation and modern day documentation and research. It is through play that young children construct their early knowledge and develop the critical thinking skills that enable them to become independent, socially responsible and intellectually competent individuals. Using an emergent curriculum that builds upon the interests of children, teachers facilitate children's learning, encouraging them to take an active part in constructing their ideas and knowledge. It is Kinderoo Children's Academy philosophy that the critical thinking skills gained through playing, constructing, imagining, experimenting and dialoguing with others prepare children for a lifelong love of learning.
