For children, preschool is a new world full of exciting things to do. At Kaleidoscope Kids preschool children will find new friends to share experiences with, and adults who understand and care.  We believe in the importance of guiding children in developing a strong sense of self-worth, self-image, value and belonging.  The preschool’s philosophy is based on the knowledge that young children learn by playing and that their play reflects their continuous emotional, social, intellectual, and physical growth and development. Our most important goal is to have each child develop a positive self-image, and an interest and joy in learning. To do this, we strive to provide a nurturing and stimulating environment in which children learn through play experiences.

Young children are unique, eager to learn, and responsive to love, attention and guidance.  By nurturing and respecting each child, we foster the development of a child’s sense of well-being.  Each child can expect to be treated with respect. The child can try out ideas, express feelings, and know that he or she will still be accepted and loved as a worthy individual. We strive to help children form good habits, solve problems, learn to interact with others, and develop a good self-image.

Kaleidoscope Kids Preschool realizes the importance of exposing children to many books.  This is a main component of our program; therefore, we maintain a routine that is centred around the ‘book of the day’. 

Our qualified and caring staff nurtures emotional and social growth.  Each child feels accepted, safe and important.  The child also feels he or she can make friends and can be an integral part of the class.  Physical skills using both large and small muscles are practiced through musical games and activities, so the children become competent and feel good about themselves. 

The development of cognitive skills is also an important part of our curriculum.  Through self-directed play, games and planned activities, children learn language skills, pre-reading skills and beginning math and science skills. 

Since children explore, discover and learn through their play, we offer an enriched environment for this exploration.  The environment includes experience and materials that are stimulating, challenging and satisfying.  There are many experiences with art media, sand and water play, and other sensory activities.

 Kaleidoscope Kids Preschool provides an atmosphere where children can feel confident about themselves and their abilities and where each child is encouraged to contribute individual ideas.  A day at Kaleidoscope Kids Preschool will be a day filled with games, laughter, music, exploration, wonder, experimentation and growth.
