Our Early Childhood Programs

Safe, nurturing, and play-based learning.

​

Our balanced curriculum blends:

​​

  • Free exploration: children follow their curiosity and interests.

  • Guided activities: thoughtfully planned experiences to support social, emotional, cognitive, and physical development

  • Bilingual education: learning in both English and Spanish, giving children the gift of two languages and cultures from the very start.

​​

Our newly expanded spaces, were designed to bring childhood to life: safe, welcoming, and full of opportunities to discover, explore, and grow at their own pace.

With our recent expansion, we are able to support each age group individually.

We now have one classroom for children ages 3 to 4 and another for children ages 4 to 5.

Core Learning Programs:
STEAM Foundations (Ages 3–5)

Our children explore the world through a STEAM-based curriculum (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Math) designed by our team of coordinators in Reading & Math, Science & Engineering, and Spanish.

 

This ensures that learning is not limited to one subject at a time, but woven together through play, projects, and discovery.

​
How we bring STEAM to life
  • Integrated Projects: Children build, test, and redesign creations like playgrounds, bridges, or block structures (Engineering + Math + Science).

  • Hands-on Science: Activities such as water experiments, reflections, and nature exploration encourage observation, prediction, and problem-solving.

  • Early Technology: Using tools, documenting with photos, and exploring digital resources on Brightwheel introduce children to technology in age-appropriate ways.

  • Arts at the Core: Music, dance, puppetry, and visual arts are blended into every theme, encouraging creativity while reinforcing literacy and numeracy.

  • Mathematical Thinking: Pattern-making, measurement, sorting, and playful math booklets connect naturally with science and engineering projects.

 

Custom Workbooks

In addition to our play-based projects, children also work with specialized workbooks created by our coordinators:

​

  • Spanish Workbook: engaging activities to build early bilingual skills.

  • Reading & Writing Workbook: literacy practice that complements Jolly Phonics.

  • Math Workbook: designed for each age group to strengthen numeracy and problem-solving.

 

This balanced approach allows children to explore, create, and practice — connecting big ideas through projects while also developing the confidence that comes from structured, age-appropriate exercises. And through the Brightwheel app, families can see their child’s STEAM journey documented each day.

Balanced Curriculum
We blend moments of free exploration with guided sensory activities, always respecting each baby’s pace and individual needs.

 

Developmental Goals

  • Strong emotional bonds

  • Gross motor milestones (crawling, first steps)

  • Early communication support

  • Curiosity about the world

​

Unique Space Features
Safe, cozy play areas with natural sensory materials, crawling zones, cribs, and bright natural light. Outdoor spaces are adapted for gentle early exploration.

Outdoor Playground & Learning Spaces

Nestled among the towering trees and natural beauty of Sooke, our outdoor spaces are an extension of the classroom. We harness the power of nature to spark creativity, curiosity, and active learning.

​​

Why Our Playgrounds Stand Out:

​

  • Bright & Inviting: Natural light fills every classroom, creating warm and lively learning environments.

  • Safe Exploration: Secure, engaging playgrounds encourage children to explore, climb, and play with confidence.

  • Hands-On Learning: Natural materials inspire sensory discovery and creative interaction with the environment.

  • Active Growth: Challenging yet safe play areas support both physical development and cognitive skills.
