Dear parents,

We are pleased to welcome your child to our centre. The centre opened a preschool in 1989. Due to much higher demand for group daycare in the Fall of 2009, our preschool classes are converted into group daycare.

OUR PROGRAM

The program is designed to meet the many needs of your child. Group time gives your child the opportunity to think and grow intellectually. We explore rhythm and music, experiments in science, listen to and act our stories, create with a range of art materials. Occasionally, children will take part in making their own snacks. We help your child emotional development by providing drama experience where he/she can act out feelings via puppets, housekeeping corner or other areas which help him/her express emotions that he/she would otherwise not feel free to express. Your child’s physical development can be divided into two groups: The large and the small muscles. The large motor muscles are the one that help us move, such as: jumping, climbing, balancing etc. All of the above are important to your child and, when the weather permits, we spend time outdoors. The small muscles are developed by using pegboards, puzzles, threading, pasting, paint and pencils and many other activities that encourage eye/hand coordination. Our program will help your child learn and grow at his/her own speed. With his/her friend, he/she can share the joy of discovery and take pride in accomplishments. These are our goals for the children in our care. We hope your experience with our School will be a very fulfilling and a happy one.
