West Ridge Childcare Centre

is a licensed child care program through the Ministry of Education. Our program works with children ranging from 6 weeks old to 12 years old. The educational components of WRCC are inspired by the Play and Exploration Program, and the Reggio Emilia Philosophy. 

The curriculum is based on the belief that children learn best through “active learning,” direct, hands-on experience with people, objects, events and ideas. Children are encouraged to “construct” their own knowledge by pursuing personal goals, guided by trained adults who understand the important learning areas for children in the preschool years. Active learning is central to all the activities in the program, whether planned by adults or initiated by children.
