Nelson Avenue Daycare

Nelson Avenue Daycare is a licensed group centre for children ages 3 to 12 years old located in Burnaby BC, Canada.

In our attempts to value each child and demonstrate God's love to each one, the staff members observe and collaborate together to determine and follow the children's interests. Hence, our curriculum is not necessarily theme oriented; rather, the children's interests drive it. Children's development in all areas is greatly enhanced when they are interested in what they are learning. Staff members observe and web together to determine interests. They then provide provocation to either determine interest or extend an interest. In this setting, problem solving by the children is valued and the teachers act as mediators, asking questions to help solve conflicts and aid in understanding.
