We are a 34 week theme based program, licensed for a maximum of 20 children who attend either in the morning or afternoon three times a week
 

Parent involvement is welcome through a daily sign up sheet (see our Parents section for more details)
 

Our Educators are always available to talk to you about your child’s specific needs and how they can help.
 

There is a mix of teacher directed activities such as group time, craft time and story time and child directed activities
 

We have centres filled with age appropriate toys and equipment for your child to explore, enhancing their natural curiosity and imagination.
 

Your child will be given the opportunity to learn concepts, gain knowledge, explore, practice motor skills, practice listening skills, etc..
 

During free play times Ms Liz and Educational Assistant will be interacting and observing your child, learning about their interests
 

Ms Liz offers a theme based program that embraces the natural curiosity in children.  Her ability to work with each child to develop their sense of self-worth and self-respect integrates well with the philosophy of ‘A place to learn, grow and play’.
 

The activities offered allow your child to develop at their own pace while becoming prepared for the start of kindergarten.
 

Some theme related field trips are planned during the year to compliment themes.
 

The children will have opportunity to enjoy the fenced in Little Tykes play structure, weather permitting.
 

Ms Liz can provide an entrance letter for any child applying to a private school for kindergarten.  Ms Liz can speak to you about how her program prepares your child for kindergarten.
 

Your child must be four by the end of the registration year.
