The preschoolers are always on the move ready to learn, with weekly activities that promote exploration and learning. The children play daily in the outdoor playground and love to explore!
Your little preschooler is busy learning how to take care of themselves and explore the world! Our preschool program encourages the children to build self-help skills such as dressing themselves, toileting themselves, and eating with utensils.
The preschoolers are co-constructors in developing intellectually by exploring and experimenting the environment around them. The preschooler’s will be encouraged to use thinking skills and language throughout the day. Each child’s care, play, learning, and development are nurtured as teachers work within a practice of relationships, appreciating family, social, and cultural practices and traditions and embracing a strong capable image of the child, as a mighty learner and citizen. Children are supported to develop self-regulation skills- the ability to adapt their behaviour, attention, emotions, and thoughts in response to what is going on around them (sitting still when appropriate, the ability to defer reward and positive self-talk are a few examples). Children are supported to express pro-social behaviour- voluntarily choosing behaviours that help and benefit others, such as sharing and cooperation. The children play daily in the outdoor playground, or on days when the weather doesn’t cooperate, they’ll play inside the center. Children will also experience in house field trips such as a petting zoo, yoga, dance, special guest readers and puppet shows are brought into the centre.
