About Birchwood's Little Beachcombers
Our Philosophy
Birchwood’s Little Beachcombers believes that all children are unique, naturally curious, and capable learners. I strongly feel they learn best through child-led play in an environment that is safe, inclusive, and educationally fun. Our day is focused around fostering independence, self-confidence, a love of learning, and nurturing positive relationships with peers and adults.
Our Environment
Our environment at Birchwood's Little Beachcombers is designed to meet the physical, emotional, social, and cognitive needs of each child. We offer a play-based and screen-free approach that encourages exploration, problem-solving, and critical thinking. We make outside time a priority and look to nature to inspire our play, planned activities and occasional field trips.
Our Teacher
I view my teaching role mainly as a facilitator and supporter for the children while they are in my care. I do this mainly by getting to know about them and their family; maintain a predictable schedule; provide easy access to age and developmentally appropriate materials that promote social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development. My philosophy is grounded in the idea that every child deserves to be valued and respected, and that all children can reach their full potential with the right support and encouragement.
