At our centre, we view each child as creative, capable and curious learners. Children learn in so many ways, and we feel that children should learn in an environment that is suitable for them. Teachers take extra time observing all the children to really get to know them individually, watching for each child’s interest and skill sets. Children are encouraged to listen to each other, share ideas, learn and use problem-solving skills daily.
It is through ongoing contact with our families that we are able to continue to offer a service reflective of your needs. We believe that childcare is a family affair and the quality of our programming is enhanced by your involvement. Parents are always welcome into the classroom, and we look forward to seeing family and friends at all of our special events.
VISION
All children will learn, grow and develop to realize their full potential.
MISSION
The Early Childhood Initiative of Sagamok Anishnawbek will increase community knowledge and skills on the importance of Early Childhood Development by offering quality programs and services that provide children the opportunity to grow up in a safe environment that nurtures, guides, strengthens and unifies families, and inspires a sense of belonging.

POST SECONDARY STUDENT SUPPORT PROGRAM
The Sagamok Anishnawbek Post-Secondary Student Support Program is a confirmation that “Education is an inherent Aboriginal and Treaty / Status Right.” It is the confirmation and recognition that post-secondary funding and assistance is a fundamental component of these rights. Further, it is the realization of a community’s right to assert their belief in “learning as a lifelong process aimed at the development of the whole person and community.”
Learning and the pursuit of quality education are not limited to conventional activities but reach into a more meaningful approach that reflects experiential and cultural opportunities. It is this holistic approach to learning that guides and directs the vision of the Sagamok Administration, Education Committee, Director of Education, and Post-Secondary Student Support Workers in their goal to deliver relevant services to the Sagamok Anishnawbek students.
The purpose of this policy is to provide students with information about the Post-Secondary Student Support Program (PSSSP) administered through the Sagamok Anishnawbek Education Unit.
The Priority of the Post-Secondary Student Support Program is to provide support and assistance to those individuals who have not accessed any support from the Post-Secondary Student Support Program. However, all decisions will be based on the availability of funds.
To ensure the effectiveness of this policy, policy changes are necessary and every attempt is made to notify the student of changes, however; it is ultimately the student’s responsibility, to ask for current information and/or clarification regarding their educational assistance. Their assigned Post-Secondary Student Support Worker will gladly assist them with any questions or concerns.
Should students access the Ontario Student Assistance Program (OSAP) to finance their educational endeavors; then students must understand that any loans received will not be reimbursed by the Sagamok Anishnawbek Education Unit.
Indigenous Skills and Employment Training Program (ISETP)
This program delivers employment and training services, support, and programs with a specific focus to removing barriers to employment and intended to increase members' ability to secure long-term employment.
Sagamok Anishnawbek administers the ISETP agreement as a Local Delivery Mechanism (LDM) for the North Shore Tribal Council (NSTC). Sagamok may also partner with other community social and economic programs to assist in the delivery of other employment and training funds.
