Message from the teachers

BRESCIA BEARS Gradient version fine stars CMYK

Welcome to Brescia Bears,

We are thrilled to have you here embarking on an exciting journey of discovery and growth with your child. At our centre, we believe in the immense potential and innate curiosity that young minds possess. Our dedicated team of educators is committed to nurturing that potential and fostering a lifelong love for learning.

Inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach, we will be creating a warm and inviting environment that encourages exploration, creativity, and collaboration. We view children as active participants in their own learning, capable of constructing knowledge through meaningful experiences. Through open-ended activities and hands-on exploration, we will ignite their imagination and encourage them to express themselves in multiple languages, including art, music, movement, and language.

Our experienced teachers will act as facilitators, guiding children on their learning journey while respecting their unique interests and abilities. We value the strong connection between the child, the family, and the community, and will strive to create a harmonious partnership to support each child's holistic development.

We understand that each child is a unique individual, and we embrace and celebrate their diversity. Our curriculum is tailored to meet the specific needs and interests of each child, providing them with a strong foundation for future learning, developing critical thinking skills, problem-solving abilities, and a deep sense of wonder about the world around them.

We invite you to explore our website and learn more about our Reggio-inspired philosophy, our passionate team, and the engaging activities we offer. Feel free to reach out to us with any questions or to schedule a visit. We look forward to partnering with you in creating a joyful, enriching, and inspiring educational experience for your child.
