Two ways we grow — academics & enrichment

A gentle balance of early academics and creative enrichment, shaped to fit ages 18 months to 5 years.

Academic

Building blocks for big school

Playful, age-appropriate foundations that get little ones ready, curious, and confident.

  • Early math & counting through play
  • Letters, sounds & pre-reading
  • Colors, shapes & patterns
  • Language activities — English, Ukrainian & Russian
  • Circle time, calendar & stories
Enrichment

Creativity, movement & music

Led by Victoria and two hand-picked staff teachers who work exceptionally well with children — the joyful extras that make each day sparkle.

  • Music & singing
  • Acting & performance
  • Arts & crafts
  • Yoga & mindful movement
  • Indoor & outdoor play, every day
What we do every day

Activities that light children up

Our circle & learning time rotates through six subjects across the week — so every child gets a rich, balanced experience from Monday through Friday.

Math & Counting

Numbers, patterns & shapes — through play

Hands-on counting, sorting, and early number concepts using blocks, puzzles, and playful games. We make math feel like discovery, not a lesson — so children arrive at kindergarten genuinely curious about numbers.

Early Literacy

Letters, stories & a love of reading

Alphabet songs, letter tracing, picture books, and rich storytelling — laying the foundations for reading before children ever hold a pencil in school. We celebrate every word they learn.

Music & Singing

Songs, rhythm & joyful performance

Led by Victoria — a Master's-trained music educator with 20+ years in the classroom. Songs, call-and-response, simple instruments, and mini-performances that build confidence, memory, and pure joy.

Painting & Arts

Colour, texture & free expression

Watercolours, finger painting, collage, and sculpting — open-ended sessions where there's no wrong answer. Children build fine-motor skills, self-expression, and the satisfaction of making something beautiful.

Yoga & Movement

Calm bodies, focused minds

Gentle poses, breathing exercises, and mindful stretching — woven naturally into the afternoon. Children learn to notice their own energy and find stillness and focus through gentle movement.
