Community First School

Our programs support an eclectic philosophy which include play based, high scope, emergent, discovery and developmentally appropriate practice. We believe that children in our programs will have a variety of learning opportunities that fosters each child’s development in the aspect of physical, social, mental and emotional development.

Serving children from 6 weeks (infant program) to 12 year old (after school program), from our Food Preparer to the Directors we understand our role is to be interconnected with the children, their families and the community. We are committed to encouraging play, discovery, experimenting through carefully chosen activities along with emergent learning to have each child be an active learner. Our teachers are trained to participate as partners in the classroom, rather than as a leader.

We created a stimulating, warm, caring, home like environment that supports children’s play ideas, discovery, experimenting and creativity.

We believe that children, family and community are all connected. We are committed to keeping an open line of communication between Community First and each family that is enrolled in our program. We value family and understand how it extends to the community and we strive to have a joint working relationship.
