Mission, Vision, and Values at ELC Kindergarten

A Vision of Education as Life Itself

At ELC Kindergarten, we envision a world where education is not merely a preparation for life but life itself. Our environments, as we call them, are alive with children learning and exploring with books, materials and also through interactions and experiences.

Here, education is woven into the fabric of everyday life at school, and every moment is an opportunity for discovery.

Nurturing Unique Strengths

At ELC, we celebrate these unique strengths, recognizing that every child is a unique individual with their own gifts and talents. Our mission is to provide a nurturing environment where each child’s individuality is not only accepted but embraced.

Compassion and Curiosity in Action

In our Kindergarten community, compassion and curiosity walk hand in hand. We see children helping one another, sharing discoveries, and asking questions about the world around them. We help them understand that learning is a shared journey enriched by kindness and love. Our Montessori environments are vibrant ecosystems where questions are encouraged, and curiosity is celebrated as the driving force of learning.

A Lifelong Passion for Learning

ELC Kindergarten is a place where a lifelong passion for learning takes root. We are inspired by Maria Montessori’s belief that “education is a natural process carried out by the child and is not acquired by listening to words but by experiences in the environment.” In our spaces, children learn by doing. They experience the joy of discovery firsthand, whether it's in the garden, the art corner, or through a simple conversation with a friend.

Promoting Scientific Inquiry

In the Montessori environments, children like Emma and Sam learn through discovery, guided by their natural curiosity and a supportive environment. This approach to education nurtures scientific inquiry and critical thinking, equipping children with the tools they need to thrive in a world of endless possibilities.

ELC Team: Bringing Learning to Life

At the Early Learning Centre, our team of management, consultants, educators and staff are the heart and soul of our vibrant learning community. Their collective passion for early childhood education has enabled ELC to become a place of nurturing and discovery. Each member of our Management team brings years of experience across domains and a shared commitment to creating a nurturing environment where children can thrive.

Our team of teachers are not just educators but also mentors and advocates for every child. They are dedicated to understanding the unique strengths and needs of each child, fostering an atmosphere of compassion and encouragement. With diverse backgrounds and expertise, our teachers ensure that learning is engaging and meaningful.

Supporting our educators are our administrative staff, who work tirelessly to ensure that ELC runs smoothly. Their efforts behind the scenes create an environment where children, parents, and teachers can focus on what truly matters: the joy of learning. Together, our team embodies the core values of ELC—compassion, collaboration, and a commitment to excellence.
