Early Childhood

Children are provided with the tools and guidance to observe and experiment and to ask questions to clarify understanding. When children discover that they are able to direct and guide their own learning, they are more likely to take responsibility for their continued education year after year as an independent and successful learner.

Students build relationships and  social skills while learning and exploring in larger class  groups, small groups, or in pairs. 

The design of the various program components ensures that our children are genuinely involved and interested in the day-to-day, authentic learning experiences where they collaborate with others, apply a new skill to a project, make decisions based on interest, and engage in dialogue where their voice is honored and encouraged. 

Teachers and instructional assistants continually observe the children as they engage in diverse learning experiences, documenting the children's daily experiences and monitoring the way the children respond to their learning environment and the presentation of their thinking.

Students  develop their innate abilities to use their body, voice, locomotive and affective skills and begin to discover their talents. 

Students  engage in purposeful movement to develop hand-eye and foot-eye coordination e.g. throwing and catching, bouncing, dribbling, kicking, striking, and rolling. They also participate in aquatic activities. 

Students are introduced to Design Thinking principles and how to apply these to challenges from their different classes. The focus here is on tying together learning from Science, Engineering, Arts and Math with other subjects using Technology. 

Students spend time in the library listening to stories, viewing picture books, exploring digital platforms, and discussing what they see and hear. They also begin to learn about library etiquette and procedures.
