Every child is different and deserves to learn at his own pace. We do Circle time where all the children are sitting for no more than 20 minutes,(they learn the calendar, weather, we read books, sings songs, recite poems, learn French through books and Fun communication exchange) then the rest of the learning is through play experiences. Free play is a major part of your child learning experience and we will use as many tools available for your child to learn what he needs.
Do not expect from your child to learn at a fast pace. The whole concept of preschool is for your child to learn what he needs by the time he goes to Kindergarten. Sometimes children are just not ready.
Understand that we provide as much as your child wants to learn. If your child prefers to play all day instead of writing their alphabet when they are 3, it is just fine.
Kindergarten is not until 5 years old, 6 for some. They are ususally more focused by then, and ready to learn. Learning through play is like the "Sneaky chef", where you hide vegetables in their food in order for them to have a more balanced meal without their knowledge (don't we all have at least one child like that?).
Learning through play allows them to learn without feeling like it. They can learn their colors, shapes, alphabet..., social and emotional relationship.. and so much more, without having to sit down for hours on end.
Plus, once they start kindergarten they do not have the opportunity to play the same way anymore. So we believe in letting them learn at their own pace while having LOTS and LOTS of Fun.
