Your child moves through the Art, Music and Play areas each session. Through our "cross-curriculum" activities in Art and Music, pre-reading, pre-math, and pre-science skills are taught.

We ensure that each child participates fully in every area in order to develop the necessary skills for kindergarten. The Playroom is a vital part of our program. It is here that your child will acquire the necessary social skills, will develop confidence in making good decisions and have FUN!

Parents are welcome at any time to visit. Parents are not counted as "staff" in pupil teacher ratio and there is no mandatory volunteering required.
