    Little Neighbourhood's Philosophy

  • At Little Neighbourhood, we believe children are competent creators of their own paths; they are strong, capable and full of potential. Children are born with the natural curiosity and wonder which compels them to explore the world and their place within it. And our intent is to guide them to develop their foundational skills. So they know they can become their most happy confident self.

     

    Children are active meaningful makers who build knowledge through hands-on experiences that uses all their senses. Therefore our center is designed to be inviting and neatly organized. They can then freely explore their curiosity, learning and creations. A place where their work is valued.

     

    Families have the most important role in contributing to children's well-being and learning. They are the primary caregivers and their first teachers. We encourage families to actively engage in their child's learning experience too. We invite everyone to ask themselves:

    "Do you have the courage to be open to the unexpected and the unpredictable?"
    - L. Gandini

    A little bit about the founder Ms. Betty

  • Ms. Betty was born and raised in Vancouver, BC, even though she was born in Canada her first language was Cantonese. Her parents immigrated to Vancouver with nothing, yet growing up she has always watched her father create fun games from simple objects, like rocks and paper. Even though they didn't have a lot of toys growing up, they always had fun and with endless possibilties.

    When her baby brother was born, at five years old she cradle him one night and whispered, "I will teach you the whole world", a moment that stuck with her.

    And throughout the years she studied and worked in many fields like interior design, event planning, education, hospitality and business. Somehow she would always come back to teaching. Ms. Betty has taught in many different environments such as daycares, preschools, montessori, elementary schools, after school programs, camps, youth programs and even teaching on cruise ships while travelling around the world.

    Then COVID-19 happened, for some it may not be the greatest times, however for Ms. Betty it was a aha moment meeting opportunity. She wanted to create a space for all children to come together to learn, to laugh and to grow with one another. So summer of 2021, Little Neighbourhood opened! With all her sweat and tears, her moment finally became a reality.

    "We are only limited by our Imagination." -Abraham Hicks-
