Curriculum

We believe that free play is a very important part of the day. It is a time when children are able to make choices about things they want to do, to promote a sense of initiative.

When developing the curriculum, we focus on children's needs, likes and abilities. We see children as individuals who develop at different levels and have different needs. Our environment provides learning materials grouped in centers for children to explore and learn at their own pace. Through play children are able to: get along with others, develop body coordination, express themselves, and construct their own intelligence.

Nutrition

The Kidstuff Program will provide children with a nutritional midmorning and mid-afternoon snack. Parents/guardians are responsible for providing their child with breakfast and a bag lunch.
