A

ACTIVE MINDS,
ACTIVE BODIES

–
We believe learning and physical activity go hand-in-hand. Your kids will love our indoor gym facilities, Music, French and Sportball programs.
–
We help foster each child’s natural curiosity, sense of wonder and eagerness to learn. Infants learn to play, Toddlers play to learn and, by the time they graduate to Preschool, they learn to learn in preparation for Kindergarten

B

BUILD THEIR BRAINS,
BUILD THEIR CONFIDENCE

–
Children need lots of fuel to help them learn; visual, auditory, textural and physical. Teachers’ program plans and the ever changing school environment provide stimulating academic fuel to help each child reach her or his full potential.
–
For physical fuel, we provide fresh, healthy meals and snacks made from scratch every day by our caterers, Real Food for Real Kids. Ontario-grown, true-to-the-earth food without artificial colours, hormones, or fillers. Real food. Really delicious.
–
 Every child is remarkable in their own unique way and we believe it is incredibly important for each child to feel special and have their moment in the spotlight. Our badge program celebrates each child when they reach a milestone at their own pace, in their own way.

C

COMMUNICATION, COMMUNITY,
CHARACTER

–
Communication: Parents and teachers are a team working. Excellent communication is key to success. Regular face-to-face communications, secure webcams in the classrooms and real-time electronic reports with photos, all help build a successful childcare team.
–
Community: We believe it is important for children to know the merit of helping others from the start. Children at ABC Academy  participate in local community events and philanthropic initiatives with the values reinforced in classroom teaching.
–
Character: Monthly character traits such as patience and sharing are taught, modeled and celebrated to help reinforce what children are learning at home, and aid them in developing a strong moral compass.

PROGRAMMING

All of our programming is crafted to meet the developmental level of the children in the classroom, ensuring all children are stimulated, challenged, nurtured and can achieve the thrill of success.

BOYS & GIRLS LEARNING

Boys and girls different learning styles are factored into teaching methods to ensure that children learn the most effective way for them.

ACTIVITIES

So much to learn, so many ways to have fun: music , French, math, science, art, cooking, social studies, character education, weekly Sportball© classes and so much more.

Protected learning times every morning and afternoon split into small breakout groups; one focused on phonics and the other focused on math and science.

 Jolly Phonics© program: a fun, child-centred approach to teaching literacy to young children through synthetic phonics with actions to the 42 sounds in the English language.

Tactical Kindergarten preparation: using JK nomenclature, practise “packed lunches” to ensure children can manage a lunch box on their own, speaking in front of a class, navigating school hallways with a buddy and more.

Software developed in-house for daily reports on a child’s day with real-time updates on how a child has eaten, slept and used the loo

Computers in each of the Preschool classrooms are used to help with literacy, numeracy and to help fuel the children’s sense of wonder and inquiry
