THE BAMBINI WAY
With a holistic approach that emerges from a unique blend of Reggio-Inspired practices and a distinct view of the child, childhood and the family, the Bambini Pedagogy is an experience like no other.
At Bambini, children and families experience a program that engages mind, body and spirit, fostering holistic wellness and growth. Our approach brings the most up-to-date research to life within its design, play resources, teaching strategies and overall program.
Bambini’s family support and development initiatives support and embrace parents and caregivers, offering families the opportunity to grow stronger and healthier together.
HOW DO WE TEACH?
Through Bambini’s holistic emergent curriculum, children take the lead in their own learning.
Educators facilitate children’s learning by using thoughtfully selected teaching strategies that encourage reflection and deep-thinking. Through intentional methods, the child is empowered and they gain a positive self-image as a learner.
This method of teaching occurs through a program that is play-based and child-led, which offers open-ended learning experiences and play resources.
HOLISTIC WELLNESS
We plant in children the seeds of a holistically healthy and well-balanced lifestyle. Our Bambini educators help children:
learn about and experience good nutrition
develop strategies to maintain emotional and mental health
develop of emotional intelligence
understand the value of community
connect to self, others, and to nature
develop healthy habits through the practice of mindfulness and Yoga.
WORKSHOPS, SERVICES & SUPPORT
Bambini is not only a daycare, we are a community of learning and support. We offer workshops for parents and early childhood professionals, as well as a variety of services and supports for families. This is an ever evolving area of practice, so please check our website (more specifically, our calendar), Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram for updates on current and upcoming events and support services.
WHAT WILL YOUR CHILD LEARN AT BAMBINI?
Our aim is to develop confident, self-motivated and resourceful life-long learners who have the ability and resilience to respond positively to the most adverse challenges in life.
At Bambini, children learn how to learn. Our distinct approach to education allows children to develop an intrinsic passion and motivation for learning.
COMMUNICATION
Educators communicate with families on a daily basis, discussing their children’s current interests, learning and development.
An specialized educational app is used to send messages and share photos of children’s play and exploration. So, even though parents may not be physically close to their children during the day, they can still feel connected and be aware of what children have been up to.
FOOD & NUTRITION
Our early learning centres offer morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack. The menus are revised by a professional nutritionist to ensure that children are getting all the nutrients they need in order to grow and develop to their full potential.
All the meals are prepared by an on-site cook.
