“The City of Port Alberni is partnering with the Community Arts Council for a new child care centre that will be located on a city-owned piece of property on Eighth Avenue, between the Rollin Art Centre and Eighth Avenue Learning Centre. The province is funding 66 of these child-care spaces, while an additional 22 spaces will be funded by the Union of B.C. Municipalities.
The facility will feature Reggio Emilia’s arts and education inspired child-care programming, an approach that emphasizes a child-centred program that uses self-directed, experiential learning with education principles focused on arts, community, outdoor exploration and multi-modal learning opportunities. The child-care centre will also include a community kitchen, multi-purpose spaces that can be rented by the community and a children’s art gallery at the Rollin Art Centre.”
