Launchpad-Learning near Strathmore AB (57 Result(s))

Play is a child's work. It provides an opportunity for children to develop their own interests, to be spontaneous and creative, to explore their world at their own level of development. Our quality preschool setting is a warm, happy and stimulating environment for children. Our programs offer educational activities which nurture social, emotional, intellectual and physical growth. Our experienced teachers and aides offer planned thematic programs combining structured and unstructured activities.

Our preschool is a learning centre for children ages 3 to 5 years old. The main idea is to learn through play for the 3 year olds and the 4 and 5 year old children will learn in a small kindergarten-like setting. While keeping learning activities fun, interactive, interesting and hands-on, we will integrate language arts, math, science, personal and social responsibility, creative expression, music and art in our teaching lessons, themes and centres. We will do this through the use of interaction, storybooks, manipulatives, songs, movement, puppets, crafts and science experiments. Aside from years of experience, our teachers either hold a Bachelor of Education Degree and/or a Child Development Supervisor Certificate and are fully qualified to teach your children. Qualified teacher assistants will also work in the class to assist with instruction and classroom management.
