Early Learning Centre

What is an Early Learning Centre?

The Early Learning Centre St. John the Baptist – King Edward School is one of nine New Brunswick demonstration sites integrating early childhood development services and offering a quality, accessible and seamless experience for parents and young children.

The Early Learning Centre’s objective is to achieve the first action in Be Ready for Success: A 10 year Early Childhood Strategy for New Brunswick, the province’s first long-term strategy for early learning and child care.

It is important that services and supports for young children and their families are integrated, complementary and community-based. This will ensure that communities are actively engaged in supporting their families and that the best possible services are easily available to parents.

The Early Learning Centre is about Families:

Parents are the first, most important and most lasting teachers in a child’s life. The Early Learning Centre supports parents and families, and collaborates with them to provide children with the best possible opportunities in early life.

The Early Learning Centre is about Children:

Each child is an active learner, full of curiosity and potential, eager and capable of achieving success in school and beyond. The Early Learning Centre provides support to bring out the best in young children.

The Early Learning Centre is about Community Connection:

Community partners are part of an integrated and universal system of support for Early Childhood Development and parenting.

The Early Learning Centre is about our Future:

A continuous learning environment, a commitment to early child development and parenting are key priorities for our community. The Early Learning Centre is about doing what is best for our children and our future.

The Early Learning Centre strengthens partnerships enhancing the integrations of all community supports for children and families.
