Salmonberry Childcare Centre
| SVNH is committed to providing high-quality childcare programs where children are valued for their wonder and curiosity, unique perspectives, ability to play, and capacity for meaningful work. Our dedicated and qualified educators provide a Reggio Emilia inspired approach to learning. This is through their passion in children, understanding in the value of play, vision, heart, knowledge, skills, and strong commitment to families. Our program curriculum is guided by the 2019 BC Early Learning Framework focusing on the areas of Well-being and Belonging: Exploration and Creativity; Languages and Literacies; Social Responsibility and Diversity. We acknowledge, value, and celebrate diversity and inclusion by striving to meet the needs of the children by recognizing that children and their families come from a wide range of backgrounds with individual needs, beliefs, and values. We value the ability to learn and explore together, as well as from one another, because at SVNH we are committed to supporting the community in its efforts to raise happy and confident children.
