Parkland Players - Meadowbrook Elementary School

Parkland Players was established in 1995 to fill a community need for quality daycare and education. Our child care centers have been founded on the philosophy that children, their families and the community benefit from high quality Early Childhood Programs. We strive to allow each child to openly explore their individual interests through a variety of programs. Over the years, we have been active members of our Coquitlam Community by taking part in various community events.

Our program is based on the philosophy that all children are equal and unique individuals. We accommodate each child to his/her own rate of development.

We provide a warm, safe and nurturing environment to cultivate children’s optimal social and emotional growth as well as their physical and intellectual skills. In addition to promoting confidence and success, we also encourage children to learn to be creative and independent.

Being the pioneers in Reggio Emilia Approach, Parkland Players has completed an educational manual that is used internally throughout the year. This manual, known as “Hundred Languages of Experience”, provides a vast number of activities focusing on Children’s Domains of learning (Motor, Cognitive and Effective). This manual is accessible to Parkland Players teachers allowing them to prepare for their students within the activity.

At Parkland Players we think that teaching children the value of being a member of your community is essential. In order to do this, we partner with a senior care facility in our local community so that children can visit residents in the neighbourhood once per month. Through these monthly visits, we hope that the children in our centre learn to respect and care for the elderly and understand the importance of making connections with various peoples in their lives.
