Our drop off program is the perfect introduction to school for your little ones. Whether you need time to work or wish for your child to ease into play and socialization with other children, our experienced Early Childhood Educator has a wonderful program in store! Our program is also a great option for children who are not attending Junior Kindergarten, as our Early Childhood Educator has 6 years of experience teaching in an Ontario Full Day Kindergarten classroom.
The preschool program encompasses the values that the studio is built upon. Our play-based programming follows the process of Emergent Curriculum where the interests, abilities and inquiries of the children are followed, supported and extended by our experienced educator. Children will be active collaborators and contributors in their learning and growth. Materials, environments and experiences offered will be developmentally appropriate and responsive to the individual children in the program. . Art, sensory play, loose parts explorations, experiments, nature-based learning, reading books, socialization and language development will all be a part of our days.
Our class size is capped at 5 children with 1 Early Childhood Educator. This small group size means a more relaxed and nurturing environment with more individual attention for each child. Volunteers, Early Childhood Educator/Co-op students and Assistants may be present throughout the year.
Children can attend 1 to 5 days per week but must be registered for an entire term. Term 1 runs from September 9 until December 19, 2024. Term 2 runs from January 7 until March 6, 2025 and Term 3 runs from March 18 until June 27, 2025. There will be no preschool program during March Break or from April 16-21, 2025. Fees are set at $38/day +HST for 9:30am-12pm or $50+HST for 9:30am-2pm. Families will be invoiced monthly each month. One sick day will be granted free of charge for each term. Children registered in Term 1 will have priority registration for Terms 2 and 3. If a child needs to withdraw before the end of a term, 2 weeks written notice must be given.
This is a drop off program. Families are asked to bring all diapering items for children who are not toilet-trained each day. A nut-free snack will be provided each morning, taking allergies into account. Children staying until 2pm must bring a lunch. Please bring a labelled water bottle and a full change of clothes each day. Dress for mess, as we cannot 100% guarantee that our washable paint will come out of all fabrics. Indoor shoes or going in socks/barefeet will be necessary during wet weather days.
