Ontario’s Pedagogy for the Early Years
At NONI’s Nest Childcare, our curriculum is rooted in How Does Learning Happen? —
Ontario’s official framework for early learning and care. This evidence-based approach
recognizes that children thrive in environments where they are respected, nurtured, and given
opportunities to explore the world around them.
We use this framework to guide every decision we make — from daily routines and classroom
design to how we build relationships with children and families.
The Four Foundations of Learning
Belonging
Children feel a strong sense of connection to their caregivers, peers, and community. At
NONI’s Nest, we build trusting relationships so every child feels safe, valued, and
included.
Expression
Children express themselves in many ways — through language, art, movement, and
play. We encourage every child to share their thoughts, feelings, and ideas using their
unique voice.
Engagement
Children are naturally curious and eager to learn. We provide rich, play-based learning
experiences that invite exploration, inquiry, and creativity — both indoors and outdoors.
Well - Being
We support the physical, emotional, and mental wellness of each child. Our nurturing
environment helps children develop self-regulation, confidence, and a positive sense of
self.
