Programs

At South Drive Children’s Circle, we promote all facets of child-development: emotional, social, physical and cognitive. To facilitate these aspects of a child’s growth and learning, we have created a well- balanced program that includes both teacher and child-directed and free-play activities. We aim to foster and enrich a positive self-image, the ability to think and reason, good communication skills and competence in physical co- ordination. We carefully nurture each child’s independence and each individual is encouraged to explore all areas of creative and cognitive play. We provide a warm and supportive environment in which children are able to explore their surroundings, learn from new experiences and gain the confidence to handle many different situations.

Children spend time with the teacher and his/her peer group, thus encouraging relationship building and emotional growth with both adults and other children. The children will be expected to respect the basic rights of others and be made aware of acceptable and unacceptable behaviours. Teachers also help the children to recognize, deal with, and express emotions positively.

In addition, teachers lead age-appropriate activities such as cognitive circles, art, books, games, music, science and cooking lessons.

Daily activities and program sheets are posted on the hallway bulletin on the parent board at each Centre.
