Class 1 & 5 learning through play

This morning our oldest group and our youngest group took advantage of a spontaneous moment of fun to learn together. As class 5 was leaving the art room we saw that Ms Andrea's friends were putting on a puppet show, and we decided to quietly sit down and enjoy the performance. This was a great opportunity for us to set an example and help our younger friends learn about audience skills! We listened quietly, and laughed at the funny parts, and finally we gave the puppeteers a big round of applause to show our appreciation! Our younger friends from class 1 were very excited that we had joined them, and they asked us if WE would like to take a turn at performing, which we did! While we took our turns inside the puppet theater we tried to be role models and teach class 1 about how we share and take turns. We showed them how we approach a friends and politely ask "may I have a turn when you're done?" and "could I have the next turn, please?" We were very proud to see our younger friends trying out their sharing skills with us, we love being role models! Thanks for letting us join you, class 1, we hope we can have some more joint-lessons soon! ELECT: 1.5, 1.6, 2.3, 3.1, 3.4, 3.6

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.
