At Royal Academy, we believe a child’s first teachers are among the most important people in their lives. That’s why our educators are more than instructors — they are caring guides, trusted role models, and true partners in your child’s early learning journey.
Qualified, Licensed & Safe
Every teacher at Royal Academy is fully licensed or in training to meet British Columbia Child Care Licensing regulations. You can feel confident knowing:
- All staff complete comprehensive criminal-record checks.
- Each teacher holds a valid Childcare First Aid certificate.
- Our team engages in ongoing professional development, staying current with best practices in health, safety and child development.
Your child’s safety, comfort and well-being always come first.
Montessori & Reggio Emilia Expertise
Our philosophy blends the best of the Montessori and Reggio Emilia approaches. Our teachers are specially trained to bring these philosophies to life:
- Montessori specialists support independence and hands-on exploration.
- Reggio-inspired educators foster collaboration, creativity and curiosity.
This balanced, holistic approach means your child benefits from the strengths of both methods in a warm, dynamic environment.
Lifelong Learners, Lifelong Nurturers
We believe great teachers never stop learning. At Royal Academy, our educators deepen their skills through professional growth, but they also bring qualities that cannot be measured on paper: kindness, empathy, patience and respect. They listen to children’s voices, celebrate each child’s unique individuality, and build trust so every child feels safe, valued and ready to explore.
A Supportive Community
From time to time, we may welcome casual staff, practicum students, volunteers and observers. These individuals bring fresh ideas and energy into our classrooms — and families are always kept informed through short bios posted upon their arrival.
At Royal Academy, our teachers are the heart of our school. With their professional expertise, Montessori and Reggio training and genuine warmth, they create classrooms where children take their very first steps in learning surrounded by care, safety and inspiration.
