One World Children's Academy

One World Children’s Academy believes children are active learners that learn and grow from their surrounding environment and the relationships of adults and peers in their lives. They provide a variety of materials to explore, experiment, play, and make choices independently, as well as hands-on activities, centers, and play. They believe all children need to be treated as unique individuals with different learning styles and that adults should model appropriate, respectful behaviour. They have a low staff to child ratio with a small group size and focus on working together by setting clear, consistent expectations, listening with compassion, communicating in a positive way, and modeling respectful behavior for the good of the child. Teacher guide children by setting limits, using active listening, and positive verbal interaction to help with problem solving. Open relationships between parents, teachers, and students are also essential to the well-being of each child.
