The Ojibwa culture is rooted in a wholistic way of life that embraces a relationship with all living things. Individuals living or learning about the "The Red Road Life" experience & display joy, celebration & the ability to give thanks.

"Every little thing is sent for something, and in that there should be happiness and the power to make happy,
like the grasses showing tender faces to each other; This we should." 
~Black Elk

HIFN Daycare provides social support & educational services to our First Nation children, youth and their families. The indigenous pedagogical plan is primarily based on the Ojibwa culture & language while respecting & supporting all participating children's language & cultures. HIFN Daycare believes that: It is our desire that we and you should be as one heart, one mind, and one body, thus becoming one people, entertaining a mutual love and regard for each other, to be preserved firm and entire, not only between you and us, but between your children and our children, to all succeeding generations.
