CPE Narnia - Our Educational Programs

Our Educational Program :

Is a play based and in line with the MF program “Meeting early childhood Needs

Aspects of our program are based on Emergent curriculum, an approach that focuses on the children’s interests, strengths, needs, and lived realities. Authentic learning experiences an approach that puts children at the centre of their own learning. The Project Approach a flexible and interactive approach using real life experiences and focusing on the whole child. Last but not least, Reggio Emilia, an approach where children interact with their peers, the environment and the community at large. 

Narnia’s Educational Program is centered around two themes: What Children Deserve and Guidance & Pro-social Skills Development. For a detailed description, please read the CPE Narnia Educational Program document which describes daily activities at Narnia as well as our communications strategy.

OUTDOOR PLAY
Promoting health and safety through weather observation

Guidelines for outdoor weather conditions

Too cold? Too hot? By observing changes in the weather, childcare workers can plan their activities and outings while respecting factors related to the health and safety of the children in their care. The document was produced by the Regroupement des CPE de la Montérégie. https://www.aqcpe.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/2019-charte-temperature-rcpem.png
