Why Being?

Holistic early learning for school and life

At Being Lake Haven, we believe every child is a powerful, capable, responsible leader ready to emerge. Through our long daycare centre and through our preschool program, expert early childhood educators empower your child to develop outside their age and stage in a fun, nurturing and supportive environment.

We are passionate about igniting children’s love for learning and curiosity towards the world at a young age. We believe your child is powerful, and we collaborate with them to guide us and tell us what they need on this journey. That said, we understand the importance of engaging with them at their level.
