AT THE HEART OF EDUCATION ARE TWO QUESTIONS:
What kind of people do we want to be?
What kind of world do we want to live in?

Our answers to these questions help us answer a third:
What is the purpose of education, and how do we go about achieving it?
— Ann Pelo & Margie Carter, From Teaching to Thinking

As a team, we have returned to these questions again and again, anchoring ourselves as we reflect on the heart of our work and the values we’re here to live by.

The images above capture our team unpacking what matters most, and naming the specific ways our values show up; in our relationships, our rituals, our language, and the environments we create for children and families.

This season of reflection as a community has paved the way for a refreshed version of our philosophy - which we are calling our pillars.

Over the coming weeks, we’ll share our pillars with you, and what they look like in everyday practice.

We would love to know what you believe the purpose of education is… and what kind of world you hope it helps shape? 🤍

Warmest Christmas wishes to you from all of us at Belong! 🎄✨

We wrapped up the year with some beautiful celebrations, shared feasts, and rituals of connection. This year also marked a special milestone; our first group of children who began with us as babies at Belong have now journeyed with us all the way through to graduation! We feel so grateful for our community and the moments we’ve shared together.

Wishing everyone a safe and happy holiday season! We look forward to welcoming families and children back on January 5th, 2026.

This week we had a wonderful evening experiencing the Mosaic of Marks Exhibition and Atelier Workshop! ✨

As a team, we love leaning into the principles of the Reggio Emilia Approach, especially “The Hundred Languages of Children.”

This central principle reminds us that each of us, children and adults alike, have countless ways of communicating, thinking, and expressing ourselves in life. These “languages” might be words, drawings, movement, sculpture, role play, storytelling, or other forms of expression unique to who we are.

As was beautifully shared during the evening:
“Since we are born, we start to communicate. The Hundred Languages are part of the human beings equipment.”

With this in mind, we believe our role is to honour these many languages and give both children and ourselves the opportunity to use them - especially in combination - so that creativity, identity, and learning can unify and flourish.

Having the wonderful Belinda from share her wisdom and hands-on experiences with us through weaving and cooking damper over the fire was such a gift to our community.

The reciprocity of the weaving experience, in particular, brought a deep sense of connection as we listened, learned, and explored the materials together.

Belinda, thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and wisdom with us so generously. It was a joy to witness the cultural and relational connections unfolding around your spaces throughout the afternoon and into the evening.
