Charley Brown Children’s Center provides early childhood care and education for children from infancy through pre-kindergarten. The center uses classroom and outdoor spaces to support developmental learning in a supportive, home-like environment.
The centre follows an emergent curriculum inspired by the Reggio Emilia philosophy, focusing on hands-on, interest-based learning. Learning activities include art, science, math, music and movement, and the centre schedules weekly music sessions with a visiting instructor.
The centre operates multiple classrooms and outdoor learning areas, offers field trips during the year, and maintains a parent handbook detailing policies and procedures. Staff emphasize relationship-building with families and observe children to guide individualized learning.
The Infant Program is separated into “Infant” and “Mobile Infant” classrooms. The Infant room provides a flexible, nurturing environment where each infant’s needs are met and recorded for guardians; mobile infants transition to a Mobile Infant room that supports safe exploration. The staff-to-child ratio is 1:4.
The preschool includes multiple classrooms using an emergent curriculum to develop fine motor skills, language, math concepts and creativity through art, science, social studies, music and movement. Pre-kindergarten preparation includes hands-on experiences, field trips and community activities; adult-to-child ratios are noted on the site.
The Toddler offering is divided into toddler and two-year-old classrooms with posted classroom routines and daily planned activities across academic subjects. Language development, social interaction and creative expression are emphasised; potty training is introduced in collaboration with parents. Ratios are given on the site (one to six and one to twelve in different two-year-old groupings).
