Philosophy
Mindwerx specializes in childcare and cultivating healthy development for toddlers and preschoolers. Our program is designed to meet the developmental needs of young children. We provide experiences that challenge and support each child’s cognitive, language, social, emotional, physical and creative development. During the course of the day, each child has opportunities to create and explore their classroom environment, as they develop personal interaction and problem solving skills through firsthand experience. Early Childhood Professionals are supportive, nurturing, warm and responsive to each child. We respect the parent as the primary and most important person in their child’s life. We try to complement your role by allowing the children to feel secure and a sense of belonging when they are in our care.
Early Years Pedagogy
Our approach to learning and child development is guided by the Ministry of Education’s How Does Learning Happen? Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years. Goals for children and expectations for programs are based on the foundations of belonging, well-being, engagement, and expression.
Foundations- Expectations for Programs
Belonging
Early childhood programs cultivate authentic, caring relationships and connections to create a sense of belonging among and between children, adults, and the world around them.

Early childhood programs nurture children’s healthy development and support their growing sense of self.
Engagement
Early childhood programs provide environments and experiences to engage children in active, creative, and meaningful exploration, play and inquiry.
Expression
Early childhood programs foster communication and expression in all forms.
