Preschool CARE

Introducing structure, hands-on learning, and the core subjects.

Your child is learning more and more– it’s showing! They communicate their thoughts and show off their knowledge, so it’s time to start preparing them for the years of learning ahead!

THE CURRICULUM

Emotional
Giant Leap preschoolers will start creating goals for themselves and work towards them. We nurture creative expression through play, music and art and instill routine and responsibility.
Cognitive
We create a welcoming and supportive environment where your kid is allowed to express their feelings, ideas and experiences in a variety of ways. They are building, learning to trace and print letters and numbers, counting, following the calendar, and more.
Physical
Preschoolers are strong and full of life! We facilitate activities that improve their strength and coordination and encourage the kids to run, jump, throw, move to music, hopscotch, and hula hoop.
Social
It’s time to start teaching your kids the please and thank you’s. We teach Giant Leap preschoolers the importance of good manners, how to properly express gratitude and how to work alongside others.
Language & Literacy
Your preschooler will start to retell their favourite stories through play and art activities. We also start introducing more advanced literature and begin to inspire a love for reading.

How do school readiness programs help prepare children for kindergarten?
