About LeRoux Froebel Bilingual School in Toronto

LeRoux Froebel is a licensed private daycare centre that has been serving the beaches area since 1996! Our mission to cultivate the lives of the children in a safe and loving environment has been evident all through these years. The community has witnessed our passion and love for children, hence, we have gained the trust and confidence of our parents, who have been our partners throughout this journey!

We are licensed by the Ministry of Education and the City of Toronto. We are governed by the Child Care and Early Years Act which supports the health and safety of children, increases the government's oversight of caregivers, and helps parents make informed choices about their child care options.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

LeRoux Froebel Bilingual School is committed to providing a learning environment that supports and fosters children’s freedom of expression, growing independence, and positive self-esteem. We believe that children are competent, curious, capable and rich in potential. We believe that every child is of equal importance and we work to create an atmosphere of acceptance, where children like and respect themselves and others. Play is a child’s work and our children are exposed to play-oriented activities.

Program Statement

LeRoux Froebel’s program goals, policies and pedagogy are consistent with the documents from the Ministry of Education such as the Child Care Early Years Act standards including the “ How Does Learning Happen?” (HDLH) which is Ontario’s pedagogy for the Early Years. The four foundations of this document (HDLH) which we adhere to are Belonging, Well-Being, Engagement and Expression.

The four foundations ensure optimal learning and development. These foundations inform the goals for children and expectations for programs. The four foundations apply regardless of the child’s age, ability, culture, language, geography, or setting.

Our goals for the children, consistent with the Ministry of Education pedagogy, include the following view of a child:

Every child has a sense of belonging when he or she is connected to others and contributes to their world.
Every child is developing a sense of self, health, and well-being.
Every child is an active and engaged learner who explores the world with body, mind, and senses.
Every child is a capable communicator who expresses himself or herself in many ways.
