About ABCnME
Founded by a devoted family with a vision to give back to the Bradford community, ABCnME was created from the belief that childcare should feel like an extension of home — warm, safe, and full of purpose. What started as a family dream quickly grew into a community mission: to build a space where children could learn, laugh, and belong. Every classroom, every program, and every decision reflects that same dedication — to nurture the next generation of Bradford’s children while supporting the families who make this community thrive.
How We Teach Our Little Minds
Curriculum
Curriculum
At ABCnME, our curriculum is rooted in play-based learning, creativity, and exploration. Children are encouraged to discover the world around them through hands-on activities that build literacy, numeracy, problem-solving, and social skills.
Our programs are guided by current educational research and Ontario’s How Does Learning Happen? framework, ensuring every child experiences high-quality care, meaningful learning, and a supportive environment. Ongoing professional development for our educators helps us bring the best practices in early childhood education directly into the classroom.

Community
Community
At ABCnME, we believe children learn best when they feel valued, safe, and supported. Our teaching philosophy focuses on nurturing the whole child — their social, emotional, physical, and cognitive development.
Building warm, trusting relationships between teachers, children, and families
Celebrating each child’s unique strengths and interests
Hosting family events and workshops that strengthen parent-school connections.
Our commitment to community ensures that children not only learn and grow, but also feel confident and connected as they explore the world around them.
Nutrition
At ABCnME, we believe that healthy bodies fuel healthy minds. That’s why our dedicated in-house cook prepares nutritious, balanced, and delicious meals and snacks fresh every day — made right here in our centre’s kitchen. The comforting aroma of homemade meals and freshly baked goods often fills our classrooms, turning mealtimes into one of the most inviting parts of the day.
Our commitment to quality goes beyond flavour — every meal is crafted with care and attention to health and safety. All staff are trained in Food Handlers Certification and child nutrition, ensuring that every plate served meets the highest standards of freshness and balance.
