Our two kindergartens are mix aged groups of 3-5 year old children.
The mixed aged group more closely resemble a family which complements our centre philosophy that attempts to create a more homelike
environment for the children.
Our program is designed to meet each child where they are at developmentally as an individual. While the program for the two age groups is essentially
the same, children participate in the program according to their interests, needs and skill level and consequently have a different learning experience.
The role of the teacher is to be aware of the children in their care and have appropriate expectations thus programming experiences or activities to meet children’s individual differences.
