program philosophy and curriculum
Did you know that not all child care programs have curriculums? Play based learning is good, but play based learning with a curriculum is better.
PHILOSOPHY
SKEUW: Skill, Knowledge, Education, and Understanding = Wisdom
We SKEUW children towards their potential because we are not all the same; we are individuals.
HOLISTIC
APPROACH
Children are not only challenged intellectually but are also encouraged to participate in language, business, etiquette, and junior explorers (see our Instagram!).
THERAPEUTIC PRACTICES
Children's mental health is a priority at Addae, as such, all programming considers and integrates therapeutic practices.
INDIVIDUALIZED EDUCATION PLANS
Individual education plans are outlines for a fun and engaging learning experience based on expressed interests and core learning principles.
addaeshan educational philosophy
- Believes in developing the natural tendencies and abilities of children
- Believes in developing individual education plans for each child based on observed behaviours toward interests, learning styles, and the goals of parents.
- Believes in letting the child pick their learning pace and what they are interested in learning while maintaining required basic learning minimums such as letter recognition, math, reading and writing, behaviour and social boundaries based on mutual respect.
- Believes in children building socio-emotional competencies, as such, children are encouraged to express their feelings at the level of their competency and staff assist children to actively listen and respond meaningfully and intentionally with understanding.
- Believes a child's imagination is the gateway to their infinite possibilities because whatever they can envision, they can achieve. As such, imagination is planned and encouraged using a variety of themes, props and setups as apart of the educational programming.
- Believes that planning, structure, discipline and time management skills are imperative to success and are integrated throughout the day as children maneuver the various activities in their individual education plan.
- Children learn from one another having a diverse background of children in care enhances cultural acceptability, understanding and inclusivity.
- The Addaeshan educational philosophy is in place to meet the growing needs of the world:
- To keep up with the advancement of intellectual minds due to advanced teaching methods and a higher comprehension of lessons.
- To assist with eliminating mind degradation due to children being uninterested children in presented activities.
- To provide children with a fair opportunity at higher education that causes disparity of wealth.
- To build the capacity of children to understand complex tasks and a diversity of technologies that are needed to meet the challenges of growing the earth and sustaining its integrity.
- This philosophy does not discriminate against mental abilities, race, ancestry, place of origin, colour, ethnic origin, citizenship, family diversity, disability, creed, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, gender expression or cultural or linguistic needs. In fact, at Addae we believe that these differences are the basis upon which a child expresses their educational needs, which in turn nurtures their natural abilities.

We Build Character
Here at Addae we believe in building character that contributes to a successful life, healthy relationship and a life free from retribution. Sound character is a strong moral compass that allows for one to contribute to society in a meaningful way, spreading love and kindness.
As part of our daily programming, children are asked to give examples of how they have demonstrated character. This practice also encourages self-reflection and personal development skills that are relevant in all seasons of our life.
We believe character includes:
- Consideration
- Devoutness
- Empathy
- Endurance
- Generosity
- Gentleness
- Gladness
- Goodness
- Happiness
- Harmony
- Helpfulness
- Inner strength
- Joyfulness
- Kindness
- Love

- Self-control
- Sincerity
