About Us
Who we are
- Creative Nest Academy is a learning center that is inspired by the Reggio Emilia approach. Our focus is on hands-on activities, creative expression through an atelier, and providing loose parts for children to explore their creativity.
- Our educators believe in following the lead of each individual child, and guiding them to reach their full potential. We create an environment that promotes learning, exploration, investigation, and collaboration, with a strong emphasis on nature-based activities.
- At Creative Nest, we strive to create a calm and nurturing home-like environment for the children in our care.
Our Mission
- Our goal is to help children express themselves in various ways. We believe that it's essential to support little minds by allowing them to explore through hands-on activities and communicate in different forms, such as verbally, through movement, music, arts, and more.
- Our mission is to focus on a child's complete development, including their mental and physical health, by using play as a tool for learning and growth. Children can express themselves in more than one way! Therefore, our mission is to support little minds in exploring through hands-on activities and speaking their languages in many forms: verbally, through movement, music, the arts, and much more.
- Our mission is to ensure all creative learners focus on a child's whole self, developing healthy minds and bodies using play as a tool.
Our Philosophy
- We believe that the child is at the heart of their learning. We see children as capable, competent, and creative individuals. Our approach to education is centred around self-directed and experiential learning within a relationship-driven environment.
- We value guiding principles of respect, responsibility, and community at our core. We encourage exploration, discovery, and play as essential components of learning. We value the child as central to their education. We believe children are capable, competent, and creative!

As children PLAY
- Children have diverse ways of thinking, playing, and communicating. Children engage in play and express their thoughts using various delivery methods.
- Playing also teaches children social collaboration, which helps them work in groups and acquire knowledge through communication.
- At Creative Nest, children use various means such as drawings, paintings, movement, and dramatic play to express themselves during playtime.
