Our Philosophy
Welcome to Kidspire Preschool! Here at Kidspire we are explorers, global citizens, and our philosophy is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. We believe every child around the world is equally valuable and competent. Our curriculum is play-based, adaptive and driven by the children’s questions. We combine key areas of learning (literacy, numeracy, science, art, music, large motor) with global citizenship based curriculum. Making connections with our local community and communities around the world are very important to us. We aim to provide a space where the child is central in their own learning through creative thinking and curiosity. All while having lots of fun!

Great teachers
We have a great team of teachers working together to provide a caring and nurturing environment where children have the opportunity explore, grow, and thrive.

organic meals
We serve all organic foods and prepare the meals on-site. Our organic garden provides blueberries, strawberries, zucchini, snap peas, tomatoes, and pumpkin. Yum!

creative play
We believe children learn best through guided play, exploration of environment, and problem-solving. Our teachers are active alongside learners and build meaningful learning experiences.

Fantastic ratios
We have 3 full time teachers and an on-site substitute providing care for 16 kids, age 2-5.
