Preschool Program
Busy, Happy and Learning
Preschool consists of children from approximately 2.5 years to 5 years of age, in a 1 to 8 child to teacher ratio. Our program is one which will encourage all aspects of your child’s development. The day is full of a variety of activities based on the children’s interests which keeps them busy, happy and learning.
All children have different interests and life experiences. We work to understand each child’s personal history so that we ensure the children have a fun, safe and educational experience. Activities available include sensory play, block play, dramatic play, fine and gross motor activities, creative play as well, we provide areas for the children to have quiet and relaxing time as they require it. The environment allows the children to self guide their learning and have access to a variety of areas thoughout their day.
We practice open communication by keeping our families posted on how their child ate and slept, and what neat or funny things they did that day. We keep the lines of communication open with our parents and encourage you to share with us as well.
In September of each year our children who will be 4 years old by December 31st will move to our Junior Kindergarten Program. Parents do have a choice between staying with us or registering with the Full Day Learning programs in local school boards. These are not mandatory programs and you may find our Junior Kindergarten program of serious interest to you.
