Rooted in our mission to honour each child as capable and curious, our environment is thoughtfully designed as the “third educator.” Warm, inviting, and rich with possibility, it encourages connection, exploration, and self-expression.
Natural materials, open-ended resources, and carefully curated spaces foster curiosity, belonging, and engagement. Evolving with children’s interests, the environment ensures every child feels seen, valued, and empowered.
More than a backdrop, our environment nurtures relationships, reflects our shared values, and brings the image of the child to life in every detail.
The Third Place
After a trip to Italy in 2023 by the leadership team, the Third Place came to life at Allegro. Wanting to support more of a community this atelier has been created for Allegro children, staff and families. This is a place of wonder and exploration in addition to their daily learning environments. Every week children of all rooms have been given time to be curious and explore here. Staff use the room to learn and unwind. Families can also use this space to hold meetings or grab a coffee together-a stimulating, safe place for all.
“For me, the third place has always been a feeling. An emotion. An aspiration that all people can come together and be uplifted as a result of a sense of belonging. This is the cornerstone of our business, yes, but “belonging” is also a basic human right, which should be afforded all members of a society.” ~ Harold Schultz
Our Backyard
We are fortunate to have a beautiful fenced in backyard that is fully licensed as an extension to our learning environments. Outdoor play is an integral component of the our curriculum; you will find us outside eploring in all weather as long as it is safe to do so.
