Our customized curriculum at our school focuses on the child and how best we can build the strongest possible foundation in their first 2000 days. We do not limit how our children learn by offering Montessori or Regio Emilia or an emergent curriculum. We combine the best of all teaching styles and use what works for the children. We are also constantly researching new and exciting techniques to make sure our children's time is fun AND educational.
The foundation of our program is a tried and true curriculum that has been studied for over 40 years. Using adult-child interactions that have our teachers work alongside the students to encourage learning. Our classrooms are divided into interest areas and stocked with materials to stimulate your child. The daily routine is an important part of our curriculum to give the children structure and learning opportunities.
Our teachers take a mandatory extra year of training and education so they can be the very best teachers in our method. Using active participatory learning they get down to your child’s level and are truly hands on to help guide our students in a fun day of learning.
Our program would not be complete and whole without the arts. We are strong advocates of using the arts to learn. Dance, painting, yoga, pottery, physical education, gardening, and so much more. Our curriculum values the arts as much as the academics and many times blending the two in a seamless way.
we believe that all programs, methods and philosophies have great things to add to a child’s life. That is why we do not limit ourselves to our curriculum, Montessori or any other method. We take the very best and use them to make sure that our students get the most out of their time here and their first 2000 days.
The balance of our curriculum is a keystone to a healthy, happy student.
We teach the following subjects at our pre-kindergarten school:
Reading - Reading is a very important aspect of a child's development. At our school we use the Jollyphonics method to teach reading. With this we us Kindermusikas a fun and interactive way to enhance our children's literacy skills. This is a proven, effective and fun way to learn reading.

Writing - As with reading we use Jollyphonics as the core of our reading program. Proven again and again to increase writing in children at a very young age. We also use art to help children build their dexterity. A few examples of this is finger painting for the young ones, sand paper letters and even picking up ants with tweezers.
Math - Montessori math is the mechanism we use to help teach math to all our students. But at the same time math is all around us. Even if you do not like math you use math daily. We know this and show the children how fun it can be! Math can be found everywhere and anywhere. Having fun with math and not making it work goes a long way to teaching children the 1, 2, 3's.
Social Studies - The world is becoming smaller and more open. Knowing what is outside, not just your door step but the door step of someone 3000 kms away is essential. Our Community Kids program shows children that there are many people in the world and we need to respect them all and help them all.
Creative Arts - Whether it is a Picasso, Monet or a finger painting by your little one; art is loved by all. Playing with clay or making a sculpture out of boxes and paper are both fun art activities that are great teaching moments. The lessons art teaches your child are numerous. The fun it can bring is priceless.
Language Arts – Children in the first 2000 days are like a sponge. They cannot learn enough and this is the perfect time to teach them Spanish, French, Cantonese and more. That is why we teach them the basic premise of 5 languages so in the future if they choose one or ten to study it will come that much easier.
Yoga - Children like adults get stressed and work better when relaxed. Yoga does this in a fun and active way. We have professional Yoga instructors come to our school and teach children how fund and relaxing Yoga can be.
Music - Brain development needs music. It is an outlet for emotions, helps with imagination and an amazing tool for teaching. Kindermusik is just one amazing way we teach music and also literacy.
Dance - Life cannot be all books and pencils. Dance is or should be a large part of life. Not only is it fun but it teaches many social lessons.
Physical Education - Hockey, soccer, football, basketball, cricket and lacrosse are all taught at our school. Their gross motor skills are being developed and they learn the basics of these very popular sports. And coming soon Playball will be teaching at our school for no extra cost.
