About Us
Reggio Inspired Curriculum
In response to Reggio inspiration we have implemented a curriculum based on documenting "ordinary" moments through photo narrations and ongoing projects. Our projects are developed based on the children's interest or from provocations developed from the educators' interests.

Inspired by the practice of infant/toddler and pre-schools in Reggio Emilia, Italy, we pay particular attention to the aesthetics of our setting. We believe the environment is a participant in the learning process of the children. Our educators provide the children with the opportunity to engage the environment through a thoughtful and intentional process, a variety of setups and provocations.

Welcome to SFU Childcare!
We provide the highest quality childcare to the families of current SFU students, staff and faculty, UniverCity resident families and SFUCCS staff. Our Society has grown considerably from its start as a family co-operative on campus in 1968. Today, we provide quality childcare for over 400 children ranging in age from 3 months to 12 years old across 19 different programs.
Our Burnaby Mountain programs on the west side of campus include seven Infant/Toddler programs & four 3-5 programs, and our programs located on the east-side include two 3-5 programs & one School age program.
Our newest location, Sapperton, is home to 5 programs (two infant/toddler programs, one 3-5 program and two school age program).

Our facilities are specifically built for the provision of childcare where each program has its own dedicated indoor and outdoor play space. Each program is staffed by qualified and experienced early childhood educators.
We believe in preparing children for life through a play-based philosophy where staff and parents are co-learners along with the children in their program.
