Preschool is often a Child’s first experience in a school setting! The Preschoolers at Ledbury Park childcare are a part of the Ledbury Park Elementary and Middle school family! They are involved in school events, assemblies, picture day, fundraising, classroom games and Spirit days. Just like the big kids, the Preschoolers sing Oh Canada and listen to morning announcements before they begin each day!
Through an Emergent and Inquiry based curriculum, children learn through materials and experiences that have meaning to them. Our Registered Early Childhood Teachers provide an enriched, prepared and welcoming environment each day.
Based off individual and group observations, the Teachers add materials to the environment to extend the Children’s interest and help them reach new goals as set in the Continuum of Develop, a tool used that outlines the sequence of skills that children can be expected to acquire as they develop. It covers a broad range of developmental domains (physical, social, emotional, communication/language and cognitive). It is a base for observation and discussion of children’s growth and learning.
