North Toronto Early Years Learning Centre is a unique school. Our mission is to create a school that operates under the child guidance principles of Alfred Adler, (the father of all democratic family practices that are growing in popularity today). Adler recognized, and research has proven, that children's future success is predicated on the development of a healthy self-belief system that includes the 4 Crucial C's (one's need to feel Connected, Capable, that they Count, and to feel Courageous). The centre has worked with an Adlerian Consultant who is an expert in classroom management ensuring that every student is given the solid foundation from which they can go forth and tackle life’s challenges successfully. We work at the belief system level and the only way to accomplish this is through extensive training, education and skills acquisition, which is why the school invests so heavily in teacher training. We encourage parents to learn Adler's parenting practices by offering parenting classes, topic nights and "ask the expert" discussion evenings at the school.
