Educational Programming

Visual Arts
Monday to Thursday

The teacher suggests various projects to the children that involve safe and stimulating materials: finger paints, clay, plaster, paper mâché, felt, modelling clay, etc.

Arts and crafts are an opportunity for children to discover shapes and colours. Children also work on their fine motor skills while developing their creativity. This programming includes 2D and 3D projects, individual projects, large murals and group models.

Music
Monday and Tuesday

The teacher sings songs with the children that get them moving. A large collection of percussion instruments are also used for children to learn musical rhythm and notes.

Music helps children express their emotions and develop their language and social skills through group musical games. They will also discover a variety of musical styles and learn to recognize sounds from different musical instruments.

Drama
Wednesday and Thursday

The teacher leads the children in role-playing games, storytelling and making up stories. Children learn to mime situations and show emotions while having fun and showing respect.

Drama helps children express themselves with their bodies, facial expressions and words. They discover other facets of their personality and have fun pretending to be different characters. Several props are also used to stimulate their imagination and change their “look.”

Science
Wednesday and Thursday

With their teacher, children discover the world of science through thematic and manipulative games on topics such as space, vehicles, animals, dinosaurs, color and light, magnetism, the environment and more.

Preschool science enhances knowledge, development and fine motor skills, and aims to spark and nurture curiosity and wonder.

Creative Games and Movements
Monday to Thursday

The teacher shows the children how fun it is to play together, cooperate, compete and discover a wealth of practical information (numbers, letters, seasons, etc.).

Creative play prepares children for the world of grown-ups, and for the pleasure of learning about different subjects: reading, the library, geography, the environment, cooking, science, astronomy and more. Activities enable children to develop different horizons: learning a second language, improving their vocabulary, becoming interested in scientific experiments, collaborating and sharing. A short period of free play takes place during this workshop.

A wide range of games and activities with tunnels, exercise balls, balance circuits, hoops, etc., encourage children to move and develop their gross motor skills.
