Emergent Curriculum: A Play-based Approach to Early Learning
At Kids & Company, we follow an emergent approach to curriculum—a child-centered, play-based way of learning that begins with careful observation of children’s interests, questions, and developmental cues. Rather than relying on rigid, pre-set lesson plans, our educators observe what each child is drawn to and create meaningful, individualized learning opportunities that build on those interests. This responsive approach supports deeper engagement and learning by meeting children where they are—academically, socially, and emotionally.
Daily Digital Reporting
You’ll receive daily reports on what your child eats, their nap times, curriculum activities, milestones and more. Delivering mid-day smiles as well as important insight into your child’s day.
Webcams
Password-protected web cameras are installed in each classroom and provide a real-time video feed of your child’s day.
Nutritious meals & snacks
Children enjoy a hot lunch and three snacks each day, prepared by our Kidco Kitchen — made from scratch with no additives, preservatives, or artificial flavours or colours.
Health & Safety
Every classroom follows rigorous health and safety protocols, tailored to meet local licensing and regional public health requirements. Your child’s well-being is always our top priority.
Families appreciate the serene, private setting surrounded by trees and a quiet neighbourhood. Classrooms feature large bright windows, and the outdoor play area includes wood-chips, separate spaces for different age groups, and plenty of toys.
Eco-Healthy Child Care Endorsed
Our centre is proudly endorsed by Eco-Healthy Child Care®, a program that partners with child care professionals to eliminate environmental hazards in early learning settings with the goal of protecting the health of children and staff.
Meet the Director
Sol Han
I’m Sol Han, the Centre Director at Kids & Company Coquitlam. I received my Bachelor of Music from Ewha Womans University in South Korea and hold an Early Childhood Education (ECE) certificate in Canada. I have lived in different countries, including South Korea, Italy, and Germany, which has allowed me to experience and appreciate different cultures and perspectives. Living in diverse communities has helped me understand the importance of respecting each family’s background and recognizing that every child has their own unique personality, interests, and way of learning. I’m passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel comfortable being themselves, exploring their interests, and developing socially, emotionally, and physically. I feel privileged to witness their everyday moments of curiosity, growth, and discovery.
