Our Program:
At Opens Doors we realize that all children learn in a variety of ways. This is why we provide a wide array of age appropriate activities to encourage the growth and development of the whole child. Our morning preschool program will consist of both ECE and Montessori theories and methods for 3-5 year olds. We have a phonetic program which focuses on the sound of one letter per week along with phonetic worksheets for children that are ready for them. We offer a variety of Montessori materials and will give presentations in the areas of Practical Life, Sensorial, Language, Math, Cultural Studies, Zoology, Geography and Botany. We believe children learn a lot through exploring their environment and have set up our room to encourage children’s interest and desire to touch and explore. We will never force an activity upon a child, once a child begins to show interest in something we will introduce the activity to the child. We strongly believe that if a child is not interested in an activity, forcing them to do it will create an un-enjoyable experience for the child and may prevent the child from wanting to try it.
We Offer:
Language- Phonetics, Spanish, French
Math/Science
Art/Sensory
Music & Movement
Hawaiian Dancing
Story Time @ Library
We also recognize the need for play. Through play children learn many social skills and are free to use their imagination. We have a wonderful area set up for just that, with a kitchen unit and equipment to go with it. We also have a large train table great for the creative builder. We do go outside every day, weather permitting, as we recognize the importance of being able to run and jump in a child’s development. Please make sure your child has appropriate outside clothing for each season. No child will be left out, if your child requires extra support, has limitations, etc. please inform us and a care plan will be put in place so the child will be fully included in all areas of the class.
Special Day
We love to have fun with the children and will plan a fun day each month!!! We will have pajama& movie day, silly hair
day, funny hat day, favourite color day, etc. We will also have special visitors such as firefighters, paramedics, dentist, etc.
