OUR PROGRAMS
Infants
Our infant program introduces young children to childcare and makes the transition into education seamless and positive!
Our nurturing caregivers develop trusting relationships with each child and family to ensure a comfortable transition into the education centre centre. During the day, the infants will engage in many activities such as art, tummy time, circle time, storytime, social development, music and outdoor play.
Toddlers
Our toddler child care program offers a more structured group environment with a schedule that includes plenty of stimulating indoor and outdoor experiences.
A balance of structured and free play opportunities is used to facilitate a child’s independence throughout their daily routines. Children are given the chance to play, learn and explore independently, in small groups with friends, or as part of a larger group.
Toddlers are also introduced to our academic program through Theme Based, Montessori, Play-Based, Reggio Project learning styles; all of which include math, language, early printing and project work which are provided age-appropriately and tailored to individual abilities. The goal of this program is to help students have a healthy and smooth transition from home to school.
Pre-School
The goals of the preschool program begin with the desire to provide a safe, educationally and socially enriching environment in which children can learn to be self-confident away from home.
The program seeks to stimulate the child’s curiosity and encourage well-rounded growth for all children based on their individual levels of development. Using various curriculum models – Montessori, Play-Based, and Reggio Approach – children get the chance to be involved in a variety of activities that foster their love of learning and discovery! Some elements of the program are more structured, and some depend on the choice of the child which offers an excellent introduction to self-guided learning.
The preschool program concentrates on developing the child’s academic skills with a variety of activities. Through group and individual project work, the students will expand their skills in mathematics, science, social skills, music, visual arts, drama and language. Daily routines will be provided to the child and teach him/her to apply these skills to reading, writing, and basic mathematics.
Kindergarten
Our Kindergarten program offers a more formal classroom setting that is focused around structured, self-guided discovery.
With an enriched curriculum and innovative program plans built around Ontario Ministry guidelines, the program offers exciting opportunities for exploring and learning. Children are exposed to a variety of age-appropriate topics, including Language, Arts, History, Geography, Visual Arts, Music, Mathematics, Science, French, and Physical Education. Field trips are designed to support their understanding of topics that have been introduced to them; exposing music, art, science in real life is a great way to bring a fresh perspective to their classroom learning environment.
Our Kindergarten program is designed to help prepare children for the daily and annual routine of grade one and helps show them what to expect in their first year of school. Children will have their own personal work booklets and personal pencil case as this will help teach them responsibility and organization of their own personal workspace. At this point they will also receive homework once a week and at the end of the year children will receive a report card from their teachers.
