Library Program
Reading is a powerful tool used to expand a child’s literacy skills, love of reading, worldview and more. Our onsite Library provides the children an opportunity to be exposed to a wealth of books and stories. Each week, our visit will include choosing a book to bring home to share with their family, sharing songs, and listening to a story.
Jolly Phonics
Jolly Phonics (Language Arts Program) Jolly Phonics is a thorough foundation for reading and writing. It teaches the letter sounds in an enjoyable, multisensory way, and enables children to use them to read and write words. Each sound has an action which helps children remember the letter(s) that represent it.
Super Kids
Our goal is to help our students become enthusiastic about being active. We offer an age appropriate curriculum that encourages children to build skills in a fun and positive environment. Our curriculum focuses on developing locomotor and non locomotor skills, understanding general knowledge of space awareness and exploring movement through dance, music and organized games. All of the children will enjoy a half hour movement class each week.
Kids in the Kitchen
Kids in the Kitchen is the cooking program at Pitter-Patter Preschool. Every ‘fun’ Friday children will learn math skills by measuring solids and liquids; science by observing how temperature changes the properties of food; colours and shapes by describing and naming foods and cooking equipment; and culture and customs by learning about different nationalities and ethnicities and what holidays they celebrate. Chef Yum Yum will also share handy kitchen tips each month such as how to set a table or manners!
Pre-K Picasso
Each month, the Pre-K Program offers creative art making experiences that foster self expression, art appreciation and skill development. Masterpieces will be created using a variety of mediums highlighting the great work of artists such as Picasso, Michelangelo and Monet.
Professor Protractor
We are very happy to welcome students to the STEM Station with Professor Protractor! Professor Protractor will be introducing students to STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) in a fun and interactive setting. We’ll be exploring the world around us and how things work with experiments, questions and demonstrations based on our monthly themes.
STEM encourages creativity, collaboration and curiosity. Students benefit from hands-on demonstrations and real-world applications for learning, and build problem-solving skills by thinking of different options for solutions.
STEM experiments and exploration can help children develop a healthy relationship with failure, by reframing it as a learning opportunity, building confidence and resilience. We’re excited to explore with you!
