In keeping with our child centered philosophy, we have a
flexible schedule that reflects on the children’s interests,
abilities and needs. We provide times for quiet and busy play;
sleep time, outdoor and indoor activities, and structured and
free play. Our program is filled with sensory experiences that
emphasize the importance of their environment and
relationships. Our teachers provide an unparalleled level of
interaction while individually nurturing each child.
We at BTS believe that early care and education is a
partnership between the family and the centre. Sharing of
information is a vital component of high quality childcare
program. Our classroom information board is one way that we
can keep families informed. Information such as how each child
slept and ate is recorded on the daily sheets and can be found
by the changing table. Parents are encouraged to speak with
their child’s teachers for an update on their child’s day and
their progress.
We believe that diaper changes are an excellent opportunity
for one on one interaction with the children. The teachers
will sing, play and talk with the children while changing
their diapers. We follow all public health guidelines for
diaper changing routines.

We are
committed to providing a nurturing, inviting and stimulating
program that will allow each child to develop at his or her
own pace. We plan developmentally appropriate learning
opportunities that focus on all areas of development. We base
all learning opportunities on each individual child’s
interests, abilities and needs. Some of the program areas are:
Creative Arts, Social/Emotional, Dramatic Play, Blocks,
Sensory Exploration, Music & Movement, Large and Small Muscle,
and Language. Please remember to take your child’s daily sheet
to find out specific activities that your child might have
enjoyed each day.
We believe that each child develops at his or her own pace.
With this in mind we will never force a child to sit on the
toilet or potty. However, at each diaper change, we will ask
your child if they would like to try sitting on the potty. We
also bring a few children into the bathroom at the same time
to encourage learning from each other.

A preschooler's
world opens up in new ways as children improve coordination,
learn complex games, and begin to interact more with their
peers. Our Preschool program introduces language, math,
science and social skills in a logical, natural sequence to
encourage learning one step at a time. Our teachers also
provide plenty of individual attention to support your child's
unique needs.
Our program provides a rich classroom environment where
children are encouraged to explore and are challenged to
learn, while making friends and developing self-confidence.
They strengthen their cognitive skills with fun memory games
in which they match objects that share similar
characteristics. And, because children learn best by doing, we
provide opportunities for hands-on experiences, such as
creating collages, which combines creative expression with a
tactile experience. We also provide learning experiences,
materials that are age appropriate and instruction which
encourages creative thinking, problem solving and respect for
others. Language and literacy skills, science, mathematics,
social studies, art, drama and music are all part of the
Creative Curriculum. The children go down for their naps/rest
after lunch, around 12:30pm. Children who do not normally
sleep will be given quiet activities on their beds. Provincial
licensing requirements state that each child under the age of
6 years needs to have at least 1 hour of rest time/sleep time
each day.

Pre-kindergarten is a critical time for children as they begin
the adventure of a lifetime of learning. Our Pre-kindergarten
program promotes independence while preparing your child for
the next exciting phases—kindergarten! We make the transition
smoother by helping children become more familiar with an
organized environment. We focus on group play to develop
social skills, such as listening, sharing, and cooperation.
Our teachers have a passion for what they do and consider it a
privilege to partner with you during this special time in your
child’s life. Our goal for all preschoolers is to help prepare
them to be successful in Kindergarten and reach their full
potential.
