At Marpole-Oakridge Preschool, children are considered to be able, creative, and competent learners with a strong desire to communicate. Their thinking and thought processes are highly valued. Children are known to learn best in a co-constructive, social environment and the preschool is designed to encourage this type of learning. The teachers, rather than pre-planning a curriculum, take their lead from the children. By listening and documenting the children’s interests and ideas, the teachers plan a path of exploration.

Children are thought to have a “Hundred Languages” to express their knowledge and learning, and are accordingly given a wide variety of materials and opportunities to express themselves. They are respected as individuals and their own uniqueness is carefully nurtured.

We strongly believe in these principles and strive to allow all “Hundred Languages” to be heard and seen here in Marpole-Oakridge Preschool.
