Meet Our Director Rawa Sahib

Rawa holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in English Literature, along with two diplomas: one in General Administration and the other in Early Learning and Child Care. She is a strong believer in Malaguzzi’s philosophy that the environment is the “third teacher,” as children construct an understanding of the world through their interactions with it. Rawa strives to create a learning space that inspires curiosity, encourages exploration, and fosters independence. By carefully designing the environment—whether through the layout, choice of materials, or sensory elements—she aims to provide a setting that naturally invites children to engage, discover, and form connections.

Her goal is to provide and promote partnerships, social interactions, and constructive learning, so both children and teachers can learn together. In her spare time, she likes to read, hike, go for long walks, and spend time with her children.

Infant Room

Toddler Room

Pre school Room

Infancy is a wondrous period of growth and exploration. Our infant programs focus on building meaningful relationships with our families, built on trust, care and attention. By recognizing and acknowledging the needs of each individual child, infants feel secure and safe in their environment and thus creates a strong foundation to support the rapidly developing social, emotional and physical needs of infants while they explore the world around them.

While the focus is still largely on their primary care, toddlers begin to take their first steps towards greater independence. We promote their development through play and natural exploration of their surroundings. We begin to lay the basis for positive social interaction and support their positive relationships with peers. We focus on using our words, being gentle with our friends, sharing, and turn taking.

Pre-school rooms are equipped with age and developmentally appropriate learning materials and activities reflect the interests of the group and are often child directed. We encourage and promote positive social interaction and develop the many tools necessary to ensure a positive transition to “big” school and a lifelong love of learning.
