About A Step Above Learning Society
Mission Statement


Our mission is to provide inclusive family support services to our community by giving every family the ability to access high-quality, affordable family programs that meet the unique needs of each family.

Philosophy


A Step Above Learning Society believes that all families are unique and deserve to be treated with respect and understanding.

Our programs support the learning and growth of every family member by providing the support they want and need.

Our childcare programs use various aspects from multiple childcare theories and curriculums. These theories include Montessori, Emilia Reggio, Flight, and Waldorf. We believe children are naturally curious and eager learners; therefore, we offer a developmentally appropriate play-based child-led curriculum. We strive to enhance young children's social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and intellectual growth. Our program fosters curiosity, creativity, and self-esteem by considering children's abilities and interests. Our educators encourage children to use critical thinking and problem-solving skills in their daily experiences. The environment is carefully designed to reflect the children's interests and cultures, cultivating a positive self-image and independence.

Our family support programs will support families by offering non-judgmental, trauma-informed support.

Our family support workers will advocate with and mentor families on topics related to the education system, behaviour guidance, and exceptionalities.

We will work with other community services to obtain the best possible way to meet the needs of our families.

We believe that all children and families are unique. In that respect, they must be treated with kindness, respect, and consideration in all situations.

Vision


We aim to create proactive strategies to develop an environment that promotes positive relationships and respectful interaction to enhance all aspects of children and family development.

A Step Above Learning Society will support families by working together to provide a solid learning foundation that allows our families to EXPLORE, EXPERIENCE and SUCCEED
