JK-SK Program

Classroom activities help children learn through play and inquiry.

Play-based learning is designed to help children develop a strong foundation for learning in all areas including:

• problem solving and creative thinking

• thinking critically about ideas and information in literacy and math

• learning to think for themselves, understanding their feelings and those around them, recognizing and respecting differences in others, and assessing the consequences of their actions

• understanding their connections, contributions and relationships with others as part of a group, a community and the natural world

• developing socially and emotionally through their relationships with other children and the educators who guide them

• developing as a citizen, through a sense of personal connectedness to various communities, like their class and their school
