The years of a child’s life are times of natural curiosity, boundless energy, and unlimited questions. Providing a rich and varied environment where children can enjoy learning through play and social interaction with their peers is very important. With this in mind, we provide the children at our centre with a variety of activities with varying degrees of structure. Through these activities and regular individual attention, we work towards developing a healthy self-image in each of the children.

The room is set up to cover many interest areas (science, music, art, movement, dramatic play, fine motor / manipulative) and the children are free to choose an activity of interest to them.
