Pre-School Program:

Our Kindergarten Readiness Program provides learning opportunities inspired by the Early Learning Framework, Reggio, and preschool curriculum. The program is led by Early Childhood Educators who create a fun and safe learning environment for children to socialize, learn, and develop skills, supporting their individuality. It serves as an excellent introduction before children enter full-day Kindergarten.

Our Kindergarten Readiness program is unique in that, unlike a preschool program, we offer five hours of programming. The extended hours of the kindergarten readiness program will help children prepare for Full Day Kindergarten while giving parents extra time between drop-off and pick-up.

Through the guidance and leadership of our Early Childhood Educators, the program is designed to provide children with the opportunity to learn and grow as individuals in a nature-based environment. The social aspect of the program is crucial as children develop important life skills such as problem-solving, conflict resolution, sharing, and self-confidence. We encourage each child to embrace their own individuality and unique personalities. While our program follows a basic structure, we also empower children to be curious, explore ideas, and make their own choices whenever possible.

The Kindergarten Readiness Program will embrace your child’s strengths and abilities while encouraging them to explore. Opportunities to participate in creative art, singing, outdoor play, field trips to community places, group activities, and much more are offered in the program. Our goal is to provide a well-rounded program that offers various opportunities for children to be curious, explore materials, and our natural environment while they learn and develop their unique sense of self.
