Why Connections?
More than childcare. A place to belong.
We want every child to feel safe, known and welcomed — with space to be themselves, discover what they can do and build meaningful connections.
Relationships at the Centre
Children, educators and families learn in relationship with one another. Trust, dialogue and a strong sense of belonging create the foundation for deeper exploration and learning.
Inquiry from Children's Ideas
Educators pay close attention to children's questions, theories and interests, then offer materials, experiences and conversations that invite ideas to be revisited, tested and extended.
The Environment as Teacher
Thoughtfully arranged indoor and outdoor spaces invite children to make choices, collaborate, investigate materials and return to ideas over time.
Many Ways to Express Ideas
Drawing, movement, construction, conversation, dramatic expression and other media give children many ways to communicate their thinking and make learning visible.

Registration & InquiryLife at Connections
Learning begins with curiosity, relationships and ideas.
Laughter, friendship, colour, creativity, experiments and new discoveries are all part of a child's learning journey.
Children's ideas are the starting point for learning.
Through inquiry, conversation, materials and relationships,
children form theories, revisit their thinking and express
what they understand in many different ways.
A Day at Connections
A responsive rhythm. Space for ideas to grow.
Our day has a familiar rhythm while remaining responsive to children's emerging interests. Time is protected for investigation, collaboration, creative expression, outdoor experiences and revisiting ideas.
Arrival & Connection
Reconnecting with people, places and materials,
and noticing what ideas are beginning to emerge.
Inquiry & Expression
Investigating questions through drawing, construction,
sensory materials, conversation and other media.
Outdoor Inquiry
Observing, moving, wondering and investigating
relationships with the natural environment.
Reflection & Everyday Life
Conversations, routines and quieter moments
offer opportunities to revisit ideas and build independence.
Our Learning Environment
Spaces designed around how children learn.
Our environment is intentionally arranged as an active part of learning. Accessible materials, natural light and flexible spaces invite children to make choices, collaborate, revisit ideas and represent their thinking in different ways.

Miss Harmony Choi
Hi everyone, it’s my pleasure to become an Early Childhood Educator at Connections Community Services Society.
I am Harmony Choi, and I was an English teacher in middle schools in Hong Kong for around 20 years before I came to Canada. With my specialty in the education field teaching children and teenagers and my passion for supporting young children’s development, I am particularly passionate about nurturing children’s holistic development and creating a supportive and caring learning environment where every child feels valued.
I am fluent in English, Cantonese, and Mandarin, which allows me to effectively support children and families from diverse cultural backgrounds.
I am dedicated, patient, and enthusiastic about working with young children. I believe in building strong relationships with families and creating meaningful learning experiences that support each child’s development.
“I truly believe in the potentials and uniqueness in every individual child!”

experiences and travelling around this world.

Hello! My name is Florence, and I am delighted to be part of the CCSS Childcare Centre team.
I have over 20 years of experience in early childhood education, including teaching and leadership roles in Hong Kong. Throughout my career, I have had the opportunity to support children, families, and educators in creating meaningful and engaging learning experiences.
I believe that every child is unique and capable, and that children learn best through play, exploration, and caring relationships. I am passionate about creating a warm, joyful, and inclusive environment where children feel safe, valued, confident, and excited to discover the world around them.
I especially enjoy observing children’s interests and providing hands-on experiences that encourage curiosity, creativity, independence, and a sense of belonging.

✦ Fun Fact
I love exploring nature and discovering new places with my family.
Whether we are visiting parks, enjoying an easy hike, or travelling
somewhere new, I always enjoy experiencing the world together!
