Welcome
A Nest for Creative Children
A Reggio Emilia-inspired early learning community where curiosity, creativity, relationships, and children's ideas shape the
Early Learning Centre for Creative Children
Where Curiosity Takes Root
At Creative Nest Academy, we see children as capable, curious, and full of ideas.
Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, our educators create thoughtful environments where children are invited to explore, investigate, create, and build meaningful relationships.
Rather than following a one-size-fits-all curriculum, we listen closely to children's questions and interests and allow their ideas to inspire deeper projects and learning experiences.
Here, childhood is not rushed. Children are given the time, materials, relationships, and space to wonder — and to discover where their ideas may lead.
Our Image of the Child
We believe every child is capable, competent, curious, and rich with ideas.
Children learn through relationships, movement, play, conversation, experimentation, and creative expression. Our role is not simply to give children answers, but to create the conditions for them to ask questions, develop theories, test possibilities, and make discoveries of their own.
We honour each child's individual pace while nurturing independence, confidence, collaboration, and a lifelong love of learning.
THE ENVIRONMENT AS THE THIRD TEACHER
We believe the spaces children learn in matter.
Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed with beautiful, open-ended materials that invite children to explore, create, collaborate, and make discoveries independently.
The Hundred Languages of Children
Children have countless ways to express their ideas.
Through art, movement, sensory exploration, construction, dramatic play, and our atelier, children are encouraged to communicate, imagine, create, and discover in ways that are uniquely their own.
Learning Made Visible
Learning is found not only in the finished product, but in the journey.
Through photographs, children's words, observations, and documentation, we make their thinking, discoveries, and evolving ideas visible to children and families.
