The classroom has many learning centers such as: a water table, a sand table, 2 art easels (one is glass for free painting), 2 tables used for various art experiences, a large carpeted area for building with large blocks, a dress-up center with costumes, playhouse with fridge, stove and sink, a Brio train table, a puzzle and game area, book corner, puppet theatre and a homemade miniature dinosaur land. We have access to 2 adjacent playgrounds where children enjoy well-supervised outdoor play.

Daily Routine

Each session includes the following activities, but may vary in order:

  • Outdoor play

    The first part of each session is dedicated to outdoor activities and play, weather permitting.  If in doubt, please dress your child as if they are going outside.

  • Interactive Story Time

    We read a story each day. We allow the children a chance to connect with the story through discussion of the various topics that come up surrounding the story.

  • Music Time

    The children learn many songs and finger plays, and use musical instruments.

  • Snack

    Snack time is a very relaxed period when the children talk amongst themselves and discuss their many interests. The teachers interact with the children on a one-on-one basis and use this opportunity to learn more about each child.

  • Free Play

    During this very important free playtime, the children explore at the many learning centers in the classroom. It is during this time that their young imaginations come to life.

  • Clean Up

    After the free play time the children, teachers and the duty parents share in tidying and cleaning up toys in the classroom.
