In the Fall of 2018, Little Owl Academy began a journey to update and enhance it’s vision, philosophy and programming. As a team, we are working individually and collectively to align all aspects of our ECE practice, programs and services with our updated vision and philosophy. It is a continuous journey and one that we are excited to be on with educators, families, children and the broader community in the areas we serve.
Our Vision
To be an exceptional place for educators to teach, children to thrive and community to grow.
At Little Owl Academy, supporting children’s independence, creativity and individuality is at the heart of our philosophy. We believe in seeing, respecting and supporting children, as well as our educators, for who they are. We are a mixed philosophy program — bringing together the best practices from multiple early childhood education philosophies — Montessori, Reggio and Traditional ECE. We are also influenced by the British Columbia Early Learning Framework.
We believe that community matters – community in our classrooms, in our programs, among our families and in the broader field of early learning and care. We also believe in supporting the local community around us.
