Our Program
We offer 2-5 year olds a high quality, learn-through-play program taught by experienced teachers and teacher assistants in every class. Our classes are busy, fun-filled spaces where all children are welcomed and encouraged. If you are looking for a playschool where your child can play and get ready for kindergarten all at the same time, please contact our registrar today to arrange for a visit or talk to one of our teachers.
We have no classroom roster duties or cleaning bees, but there are plenty of opportunities for parents to be involved!
Program features
• Learn-through-play philosophy
• Music, science, math, art and movement
• Inquiry-based learning

We celebrate seasons and holidays with special days and events. At the end of the year, each child receives their own scrapbook of photos and crafts, capturing special moments from throughout the year.
