Toddler

In the toddler program, which is comprised of children between 12 months and 30 months, children will develop language, literacy, math, science, technology, art and engineering skills by incorporating these concepts into the child’s play, exploration and inquiry.

Teachers will plan activities daily based on the interests of the child. Children will explore the following interest areas based on our Four Pillars of Learning: Language and Literacy, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), Physical Activity and Mindful Awareness.

Children will go outside twice a day to engage in activities that promote active movement. The teachers will work with parents to encourage potty training when the children are interested and ready for it.

The children in the toddler rooms are separated into small groups according to their age and stage of development to allow teachers to program activities according to their developmental needs. For more details, visit the Curriculum page.

In our Kindergarten program, we offer advanced academic opportunities which promote learning readiness for primary school preparation. Within this program we further extend upon our existing curriculum with our Four Pillars of Learning: Language and Literacy, STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Math), Physical Activity and Mindful Awareness.

As our students become more independent, we can focus on a higher level of academics. We approach this as an opportunity to build upon each child’s abilities and strengths to reach full potential in all subject areas. Our holistic approach is consistently based on providing a sense of belonging, engagement, security, and nurturing. We continue to provide an environment that is stimulating, fosters curiosity and encourages inquiry-based learning. This program is designed to build skills, confidence and empower the “Alpha” in each one of our students before moving into the primary grades.

School Age/Camp

In our School Age program, we offer academic and extracurricular opportunities with our Four Pillars of Learning Curriculum: Language and Literacy, STEAM, Physical Activity and Mindful Awareness.

We offer homework help, physical activity and an opportunity to engage with peers through cooperative and collaborative STEAM projects and activities.

During summer months or short breaks from school, our program offers a STEAM camp program which focuses on both academics and extracurricular activities to ensure a fun day filled with exceptional learning experiences.
