Preschool program
Gross motor activities take place either outside in our fully-fenced playground or in the gym. Children play with a variety of riding toys, balls and sports equipment, and are encouraged to play active games. When playing outdoors, they are encouraged to put their outdoor clothes in their cubbies upon returning inside.
During carpet time, we learn about children’s interests through discussion, songs and games. We also explore concepts related to numbers, matching and colour recognition.
For snack time, children wash their hands, get their cups and sit at a snack table to enjoy a nutritious snack. After snack, the children put away their own snack supplies.
During free play, children choose from activities such as play dough, sand box, arts and crafts, puzzles, dramatic play, books, blocks and a rotating variety of other toys.
At tidy up time, everyone helps tidy up the classroom.
For song and reading time, we follow the children’s lead and cater our activites based on interest. Some of the things we might participate in are calendars and weather charts, or Jolly Phonic activites
Life Skills such as dressing and taking care of personal needs help build self confidence and independence.
Other activities in the preschool program include science experiments, baking, field trips and an occasional visitor from the community.
