Junior Preschool
Full Day Introduction to JK/SK Preparatory Program
Children between the ages of approximately 2.5 and 3.5 years are accommodated in our Junior Preschool classroom, respecting a ratio of 1:7. Children in this group start to enjoy a more structured day and are guided to become more independent.
This includes toilet learning, learning to put coats and shoes on and off, and serving themselves at meal times! The classroom is fully equipped with a dramatic centre, arts & crafts station, building blocks and many other open-ended and natural learning materials.
The Junior Preschool program encourages and promotes play and self exploration with gentle guidance and direction from their teachers.
Children will be in involved in experiences and activities that focus on language development, early math concepts, gross and fine motor skills as well as creative arts and expression. Structured programs of Montessori (for practical life skills and early math concepts), Jolly Phonics (for literacy development) and Second Step (for social-emotional learning) are implemented in the program along with an introduction to French through songs and interactive circle times.
Natural, realistic, diverse learning programs
In each of our programs, a large emphasis is placed on the physical environment and the type of learning activities offered.
