Early Learning and Care Framework

At Eager Beavers Childcare, our philosophy is shaped by Flight: Alberta’s Early Learning and Care Framework. This play-based, relationship-focused approach guides our work to support your child’s overall development and sense of well-being. Here’s how we bring the framework to life: Well-Being: We create a nurturing environment where your child feels physically and emotionally safe. By prioritizing routines, healthy practices, and emotional security, we help them develop confidence and resilience. Play and Playfulness: Play is at the heart of learning. Whether it’s building a tower, engaging in imaginative role play, or exploring nature in our outdoor play spaces, your child’s natural curiosity drives their learning experiences. Diversity and Social Responsibility: We celebrate the diversity of children, families, and communities by fostering inclusion, respect, and connection. We create opportunities for children to learn about and contribute to the world around them. Communication and Literacies: Through everyday interactions, stories, and creative expression, we help your child develop skills in communication, problem-solving, and critical thinking. These are the foundations for lifelong learning. Our educators act as co-learners, observers, and guides, ensuring that each child’s unique strengths and interests shape their learning journey. We’re here to partner with you in supporting your child’s development and well-being. If you have questions, ideas, or concerns, please feel free to share them with us.
