About
The Collective Kids Club operates 5 days a week from 7:30-9am and 3-6pm. Care is offered for early dismissals and professional development days. Spring and Summer Camps are held at our Kitsilano Neighbourhood House location. This program will follow our Reggio Emilia approach to early learning, children will be engaged in various activities and explorations throughout the day, including indoor and outdoor learning.
Daily programming will include; explorations and provocations, outdoor play, and snack times. Out trips are part of our programming for professional development days, and visits to local park are part of regular programming.
The Collective
A collective is a group of entities that share or are motivated by at least one common issue or interest, or work together to achieve a common objective.
We are a group of educators, children, families and community members that value childhood and the significance and importance of early learning. The Collective Tennyson Childcare Centre is a place where individuals can share their skills, strengths and knowledge to work together to create meaningful experiences for children. Our educators will work together and across the different programs creating the opportunity to connect with each other, and all children and families. Families will feel connected to all programs as well, which will support them as their child continually grows and moves between programs. Community members are invited in to participate in the form of volunteerism, and skill or knowledge sharing. It is a centre that provides high quality learning opportunities for children in our care, and a place where families and community can connect with one another.
