Kindergarten Learning Curriculum Barrie Ontario |
| My classroom is set up with a wide range of materials including many Montessori manipulatives, puzzles, paper, pencils and an ever changing selection of quality books. The materials we use are hands on, so your child can experience and internalize the concept in a concrete way before eventually moving to the abstract. I can meet your child’s early childhood education needs while following his/her interests to make learning fun. Areas of study include, but are not limited to the following ... |

A LOVE OF LEARNING
PARENT'S COMMENTS
"My 3 year old son is eager to get to school and to learn! He loves
the hands-on activities and the warm and supportive approach used by
his teacher, Trudi. The programme is tailored to meet his individual
needs and interests. I am thrilled with the excellent communication
through daily photos and e-mail updates. I would highly recommend Love
of Learning Preschool as the programme is exemplary and Trudi is
dynamic, passionate and devoted to the children.
K. Butler"
