Duchess Early Learning Centre in Prince George, BC is an early learning centre focused on social and emotional development, compassion and empathy and learning through our natural environment. Our modern facility is based on models from Denmark, Norway and France and a deep desire to create an inclusive space for people of all cultures. The team provides high quality early childhood education, drawing on the Reggio Emilia, Waldorf and Montessori approaches.

 This innovative approach values children as strong, capable, and resilient, encouraging self-discovery and social emotional development through outdoor play, community walks, gardening, baking, fine art, singing, reading and much more.

As a structured program each experience is an opportunity for children to learn compassionate and caring ways to engage with their friends and teachers. There is time for individual activities giving the children a chance to focus on personal interests and areas of growth as they prepare for kindergarten. The centre aims to help children become their best selves as they discover their place in the world.
