School Age Program

We are a child-led daycare program with a focus on creating an enriching and nurturing environment where children can explore, learn, and grow at their own pace.

The program values the unique interests, personalities, and developmental stages of each child, fostering a sense of autonomy and independence. Through our many interest areas and caring staff members we prioritize the individual needs and interests of each child, providing a supportive and stimulating environment for holistic development. This approach allows children to be themselves, fostering a lifelong love for learning and exploration and opportunities to engage with eachother, foster friendships and grow their confidence.

Interest Areas

Artistic Expression

A dedicated space with easels, craft materials, and instructed art activities, allows children to explore their creativity. We will have an art activity planned daily but also encourage children to express their own creativity as well.

A hands-on science corner filled with age-appropriate toys such as magnifying glasses, and exploration tools encourages curiosity and a love for learning. We also have a large aquarium in the center to create a calming atmosphere and promote curiosity, helping children learn about aquatic life as well as providing a visual and sensory experience for young minds.

Comfortable reading corners stocked with a variety of books to cater to different reading levels and interests, promoting literacy and a love for books.

Various play zones, such as a kitchen area, dress-up corner, and fun castle, enable children to engage in imaginative play, fostering social skills and emotional development.

A spacious outdoor area with natural elements like plants, sand, and water provides a stimulating environment for physical activity and exploration.

The daily schedule is flexible, allowing children to choose activities based on their interests and preferences. This empowers them to take ownership of their learning experiences.
