Playgroup :
Toddlerhood is a period of tremendous exploration and growth for children. Our Playgroup program is a six-month session created to enrich a child’s first school experience with nurturing and collaborative learning. Toddlers interact with materials with adult assistance and come to understand concepts and relationships. Our approach encourages the growth of independence and social awareness, sensory exploration, and the development of physical and communication skills.

- Educators observe the children as they learn, take photographs, and document what children say as they learn. Our rooms are filled with evidence of children’s learning through play and discovery.
- Learning within our programs is made visible through observation and documentation.
- All the programs are carefully designed towards enhancing the core areas of progression for a child – fine & large motor, intellectual, language, creative & aesthetic development.
*The children will gradually transition into the 2-hour program as they settle into the school environment.
