Our Programs

We are lucky to have a large open forest area near our daycare where the children have freedom to explore in a safe, educational and fun way. We teach respect for all living beings - including the trees and all creatures that live in our forest. 

Here the children learn to navigate over large tree roots, climb tree stumps and balance along fallen logs. They learn to cooperate to build forts and move large branches. The children are able to sit quietly and simply breathe deeply. They learn to respect the natural world and understand how vital it is to all of us. We aim to instill a true love for the outdoors to last throughout their lives.

 Our forest is always open to teach us about the wonders around us.

Mixed in with play, our children are immersed in literature, math and science. We explore monthly themes to help guide learning at their own level and support their natural curiosity to understand their world which builds confidence to transition into the school years. Our small group allows more individualized learning and one-on-one attention from dedicated teachers. We open their minds to curiosity and encourage exploration of new ideas and possibilities. 

Each spring we plant our own vegetables. When children are able to be a part of the entire process, from preparing the soil, sowing the seeds, watering the plants and finally harvesting, children are eager to  try new foods. We have grown just about everything, from cucumbers to cantaloupes, sugar peas to sweet peppers, each year is a new adventure.

A summer's day at the beach, a trip of wonder to the aquarium, exploring nature at the ecology center, wet fun at the water park and exploring the big city by seabus. Adventures of all kinds keep our little ones connected to the bigger world.

Music

We have music and movement every other Wednesday using songs, instruments and dance to teach the children rhythm, fun songs and to instill a lasting love of music. This is an educational introduction to music in a fun and energetic class.

Yoga

Our Yogi comes on alternating Wednesdays to teach positive body control, deep breathing, and fun poses from trees to warriors and even favourite animals. The children love finding new ways to move their bodies and calm their own thoughts.
