A DAY IN A LIFE
Learning through play is an important part of how young children develop. Our approach and planning of child activities are both child-centred and directed.
The teachers follow the directions of children and adapt activities in the classroom by observing, documenting, listening and interpreting children’s goals, theories and strategies.
During each class, children have various choices of classroom activities, including:
-
Sand / water / sensory area
-
Construction & Blook Centre area
-
Manipulatives area
-
Art area
-
Home corner
-
Dramatic Play area
-
Literacy area
In an average 3-hour preschool class, students divide their time between:
-
Classroom
-
Preschool Playground
-
Preschool Gym (climbers, indoor bikes…)
REGISTRATION
HOW TO APPLY
To be placed on our waitlist for the 2023/2024 preschool year, or our contact list for future years’ registration, please click the button below to add your child to our Contact list.
The Priority Registration period for the 2023/2024 school year is now closed.
Registration for 2024/2025 preschool year will be open for
1 week between January 18, 2024, 8 AM to January 25, 2024, 8 pm.
PRE-REGISTRATION
Please fill out this form so we can contact you if a space becomes available in the current school year or for communication about future years’ registration.
“Contact List” button will be inactive during registration.
OPEN REGISTRATION
The Priority Registration period will be open on our website for 1-week mid-January. During this time frame click on the “REGISTER NOW” button. Fill out the registration application form with all your child’s information, and your 1st and 2nd choice schedule.
There is a $75 non-refundable application processing fee which does not guarantee placement, but rather covers the administrative costs of the application process.
We do our best to accommodate all families, but we have a limited number of spaces available in each class.
PLACEMENT
(Registration is not first come first served)
Once registration closes, we will begin our lottery-based placement process. A Lottery meeting is held by the Registrar, Executive Director, and 3 or more Board Members. There, a tiered Lottery is held for placement order.
Our tiered categories are board/staff, returning students, alumni families, and new students. Once the lottery has been held, the registrar will place students 1 by 1 in classes according to their lottery number.
If your first-choice schedule and second-choice schedule is full you will be placed on the waitlist for those classes, and you will be called or emailed and presented with the available options. If at that point all our classes are full, you will be placed on the waitlist. This is a lengthy procedure and can take approx. 6 weeks.
Please note we try our best to accommodate everyone’s preferred options, however we cannot guarantee a morning or afternoon placement.
(All returning students will be offered a spot. Alumni and new students will be dependant on availability)
ACCEPTANCE
Once all our class spots are filled, we will email offer letters with steps on how to accept or decline the placement you have been offered.
Waitlist letters will be sent to those we were not able to place in a class. These emails are typically received in March.
