Preschool

Preschool

– Independent. Curious. Academically & Socially Engaged

(3 hours, Mon – Friday, 9:00am – 12:00pm, for children 3 – 4 years old)

 

 

Let the questions begin! Our Multidisciplinary Preschool Program is the natural next step after Prep Class and Jr. Preschool, where children are ready to participate fully and independently in the classroom. The Transfer of Trust and Authority from Parent to Teacher is complete, allowing children to focus deeply, build confidence, and experience the joy of “going to school.” And yes, you may stay in our Parent seating area if you’re new to us or need time with separation.

Our thoughtfully designed curriculum integrates Montessori, Reggio, Waldorf, and the BC Early Learning Framework, supporting a wide range of learning styles while nurturing strong academic habits, self-regulation, and intrinsic motivation. Children explore thematic learning stations using high-quality materials that encourage inquiry, persistence, and purposeful engagement.

Teachers support both academic and social growth through compassionate communication and inclusive language, guiding children to express feelings, negotiate social challenges, set boundaries, and collaborate effectively. These skills form the foundation for lifelong learning and mindful leadership, help build friendships, and develop emotional self-regulation.

Academically, we move beyond STEM with our holistic STREAMING curriculum. Weekly experiences include Science, Technology, Reading & Writing, Engineering, Art, Math, Music, Individual Work, Nature Studies, and Group Projects that strengthen critical thinking, problem-solving, and early reasoning skills. Monthly thematic studies draw from Cultural Anthropology and Natural Sciences to foster global awareness and compassion. Field trips are chosen to complement the classroom lessons.

Because learning at My Whole Earth is emergent, cumulative, and project-based, we strongly encourage attendance for the greatest number of days your child can attend in good health. Multi-day projects build upon previous lessons, reinforcing understanding through meaningful repetition – Mastery grows with continuity.

Program Goals suitable for families with children 3 – 4 years old:
★ To encourage curiosity, independence, and academic depth – without sacrificing childhood joy
★ To inspire empathy, mindfulness, and confidence while out in the world and at school
★ To prepare your child for successful entry into Junior Kindergarten
