"It is a guide for early childhood educators to use in their everyday work with young children." (Makovinchuk, Hewes, Lirette & Thomas, 2014, p. 4)
Our educators come from a culturally diverse background that speak multiple languages.
Our playrooms are filled with items such loose parts, cultural artifacts,
natural materials that aim to help aid in this exploring.
Both centres have an onsite cook who prepares culturally diverse meals which include lunch and two snacks while following the Canadian Food guidelines.
We promote diversity through culturally rich play environments and supported by educators who nurture children's engagement in cultural experiences. This is done through our artifacts, literature, food and music.
ICFC is a licensed, accredited child and family centre. We strive to meet and exceed provincial requirements. Both centres have been designated as Early Learning and Child Care Centres (ELCC)
