At Hava Childcare Academy, we believe that each child is a curious, capable, and unique individual, deserving of a nurturing environment where they can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace. Our philosophy is rooted in the principles of Reggio Emilia (Emergent), Montessori, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL), providing a holistic, child-centered approach to education.
Through the Reggio Emilia (Emergent) approach, we view children as active participants in their learning, where their interests, ideas, and questions are valued. Our classrooms are thoughtfully designed to inspire creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking, allowing children to express themselves in meaningful ways. We believe that the environment plays a vital role in fostering curiosity, independence, and a lifelong love of learning.
Incorporating the Montessori philosophy, we emphasize the importance of self-directed learning. We provide children with the freedom to explore materials and engage in activities that align with their individual needs, interests, and developmental stages. Our educators guide and empower children to take ownership of their learning journey, fostering confidence, independence, and responsibility.
At the heart of our curriculum, Social Emotional Learning (SEL) ensures that emotional intelligence is nurtured alongside academic development. We are committed to helping children develop empathy, self-awareness, and resilience, empowering them to build positive relationships with themselves and others. By integrating SEL into our daily practice, we equip children with the tools they need to understand and manage their emotions, navigate social situations, and develop essential life skills.
We offer a comprehensive curriculum that balances academic learning with emotional and social development. Our curriculum is designed to support the holistic growth of each child, fostering not only intellectual skills but also social, emotional, and physical well-being.
At Hava, we recognize the importance of family involvement in a child's learning journey. We actively encourage parents to play an integral role in their child's education. We believe that when families are engaged and collaborate with educators, children benefit from a consistent, supportive learning environment both at home and at school.
Together, these pillars–Reggio Emilia (Emergent), Montessori, SEL, a comprehensive curriculum, and strong family partnerships–create an environment where children are encouraged to grow into confident, compassionate, and engaged learners. At Hava Childcare Academy, we strive to honor the potential in every child, creating a safe, supportive, and enriching environment that fosters both academic and emotional growth.
