Parent Tot
Wooden blocks become roads or train-tracks... anything they can imagine! Children include parents in their play according to their fluctuating needs.
Those parents not engaged in child-led play may work on a simple craft project provided by the teacher, or help with tasks around the classroom.
Group circle activities delight the children through much repetition rhymes and finger plays.

Nursery School
The Nursery school provides a warm and inspiring environment where children can begin to develop their independence. This age-span lives in the world of imaginative play and imitation. By nourishing the mind and senses through imaginative play and gently guided activities, the Nursery School Pro- gram fosters the development of the whole child. A focus on play in early childhood provides the child with time to develop creative and social skills.
Lessons such as music, singing, painting, drawing, modelling, movement, and handwork are offered to supplement the regular academic subjects in order to encourage a head, heart and hands approach to learning.
