Our goal is to help every child be happy, secure, and develop fully to his/her true potentials. To meet this goal, we offer our families a safe, nurturing and stimulating environment dedicated to providing a warm and inviting atmosphere that allows children to develop at their own pace. Through play experiences and the guidance of staff, your child will be exposed to situations that will stimulate curiosity, initiative, and independence. All this combined is to ensure our preschoolers are prepared when they reach educational kindergarten. Preschool and childcare programs are based on children’s interests and learning needs, and include the use of individual, small and large group activities, indoor and outdoor play, learning centres, outings and field trips. Activities will be varied frequently and designed to accommodate individual children’s unique abilities. In our programs we believe in allowing children to discover and learn through hands-on learning experiences. We allow children to be inquisitive, experimental and we honor each child’s unique way of learning.
We run an Infant/Toddler program for ages 6 months to 2.5 years old and a half day Pre-School program for children ages 3 and 4 years old. Both programs are inclusive and implement our philosophy to aid in the development of each child’s individuality.
