Our Mission and Values

At Hummingbird, we believe children are capable, curious, and mighty learners. Our mission is to empower children through play in a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment where they are encouraged to explore, create, question, and grow.

Our approach is shaped by years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. Through this work, we have identified the values that guide our programs and strengthen children’s learning experiences every day:

        • Child-led learning
        • Risky play and confidence-building
        • Field trips and real-world exploration
        • Multi-age programming
        • Open-ended play
        • All-weather outdoor play and exploration
        • Documentation and reflection
        • Community involvement and connection

"It’s been such a positive experience, we were very trepidatious about starting daycare and appreciate the warmth that everyone at Hummingbird brings to the Centre!! We really appreciate the small room sizes and the one on one care. Our little one loves being outside and we appreciate how that’s a key part of each day (weather permitting)."
