Building Strong Foundations in Language and Literacy
Through engaging stories, dynamic songs, and hands-on activities, children build essential skills in listening, speaking, reading, and writing. Our literacy-rich environment nurtures a love of learning while developing communication skills that empower children for lifelong success.
Igniting a Passion for Mathematics and Critical Thinking
Our mathematics program sparks curiosity and promotes problem-solving with activities like counting, pattern recognition, and exploring shapes. With a focus on numeracy and logical thinking, your child will develop the confidence to tackle challenges and embrace new ideas.
Exploring the Wonders of Science and Nature
From observing seasonal changes and conducting hands-on experiments to fun and education field trips our science curriculum encourages exploration and inquiry. By fostering curiosity about the natural world, we help children uncover the magic of discovery and lay the groundwork for scientific understanding.
Celebrating Diversity and Building Community
In Social Studies, children explore themes of identity, family, and diverse holidays. Through stories and shared traditions, we cultivate a sense of belonging, empathy, and social responsibility.
Fostering Creativity Through Arts and Design
Our arts program encourages self-expression through painting, a musical program taught by educators from the Victoria Conservatory of Music, dance, and drama. In addition, child-led design projects inspire innovation and creative problem-solving, helping children develop confidence and imagination.
Promoting Wellness and Physical Literacy
Physical and Health Education focuses on movement, motor skill development, and overall well-being. Activities like yoga, Martial Tots, PISE Bike Program, nature walks, indoor rock climbing in our well-appointed state of the art gym, and cooperative games instill a love for active living and the importance of caring for oneself and others.
Social-Emotional Learning at the Core
We place a strong emphasis on social-emotional learning (SEL), guiding children to recognize and regulate emotions, build resilience, and foster meaningful relationships. With mindfulness practices and collaborative play, your child will grow in self-awareness and empathy.
