Little Feet Little Faces: Whole school goop experiment

Whole school goop experiment

For one of our projects this month we did a whole school experiment! We made slimy goop! This involved making two different solutions. One solution of white glue and water, and one solution of borax (laundry detergent) in water. Before we combined the solutions, we all sat down to have a think and make some predictions about what we thought might happen when the two solutions get mixed together. We had a lot of different hypotheses! Once we were all done hypothesising it was time to test our theories. So we all sat in a big circle and took turns using our hands to mix the two solutions. It was a very strange sensation! The borax instantly starts to ploymerise when it hits the glue and water mix, and we could feel this happening as 'chunks.' But the more we mixed, the smoother it got! We can't wait to bring our science goop home to share the sensory experience with our families! Will you be brave enough to have a touch? Enjoy! :)

Welcome to Little Feet Little Faces Preschool!

We are a private Licensed Day Care (Licensed with the Ministry of Education) that offers high quality care for children aged 2.5 yrs – 6 yrs.

You have taken the first step of offering your child a 3 year framework that will extend and challenge their academic learning and expose them to a creative and imaginative world of artistic elements and possibilities.

Our low class size and student: teacher ratio allows your child to be taught at their own academic level and their learning to be tailored to their own strengths and challenges. By giving your child the opportunity to be part of this journey with us they are being immersed in an all encompassing curriculum that intertwines the academic and artistic learning that is relevant to real world success. This curriculum caters for all learners using Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences as well as Blooms Taxonomy to give your child the best learning outcomes. Themes are carried throughout the academic curriculum as well as the artistic curriculum to reinforce concepts and offer all types of learners to interpret and extend.

At Little Feet Little Faces your child is not just another face in the classroom. They are part of our team where every staff member knows their name and has taken the time to personally bond with your child and ensure a secure and trusting attachment has been forged. As a result of this your child comes to preschool happy and excited every day as they know they are safe and the staff love them. Our 3 year plan ensures that your child will receive a solid and comprehensive foundation of emergent and early literacy and mathematical concepts and skills allowing them to transition easily into some of Toronto’s most elite private elementary schools.

Thank you for taking this journey with us. We are excited to become part of your family and educate your child to become the most confident, expressive, academic, creative and well rounded individual they can be.
