Bkejwanong Children’s Centre
7 a.m. - 5 p.m. *unless a parent makes an alternate arrangement.
The Bkejwanong Children’s Centre (B.C.C.) provides culturally sensitive, high-quality early learning programs and services for children between the ages of four (4) months to ten (7) years old that contribute to healthy child development.
The B.C.C. is licensed by the Ministry of Education and follows the Ministry Policy Statements and pedagogy including How Does Learning Happen (HDLH).
Our program is also reflective of our original Ojibwe language (Anishnaabemowin), culture, and we create a welcoming environment for children of all cultural backgrounds.
Our program is designed to enhance different learning styles and provides play-based learning environments for the children with the understanding that each child is competent, capable, curious and rich in potential.
Ojibwe Language (Anishinaabemowin)
Our Native Ojibwe language is also a very strong component of our culture. All staff will use the Ojibwe language in the program on a daily basis exposing the children to our original language. Music, games and cultural items are also included in the daily program.
Our Cultural Enrichment Instructor adds the Ojibwe language and culture to our classrooms through music, song, games, books, flash-cards and cultural props.
The Ojibwe language is also used in our morning and lunchtime announcements.
The B.C.C. Ojibwe culture and language component instills awareness, pride and respect in the children for their own First Nations language, culture and identity.
The B.C.C. recognizes that it takes a village to raise a child. Children are enriched with relationships with family, educators, other children and the community.
