Programs - 3's and 4's
At Queen’s Park Preschool we offer a three year old program and a four year old program. Please note, children are enrolled in either an AM class or a PM class, not both. Our class times are:
Three Year Old Class:
Tuesday/Thursday AM Class: 9:15am - 11:15am
Tuesday/ Thursday PM Class: 12:15pm – 2:15pm
Four Year Old Class
Monday/ Wednesday/Friday AM Class: 9:15am – 11:30am
Monday/Wednesday/Friday PM Class: 12:15pm – 2:30pm
All of our programs are quite similar in structure. A typical day at preschool includes:
Welcome Circle: The teachers welcome the children and share information about any special activities for the class session.
Free Play: During free play the children can explore the various areas and activities with the preschool. Some of these activities might include:
- creative art activities
- large muscle play on the indoor slide and monkey bars
- sand box
- water table play
- dressing up and pretend play in the two storey play house
- playdough
- science discoveries
- working with manipulatives such as blocks, cars, puzzles and trains
Circle Time: Teachers lead a group time (with lots of child participation) and share music and songs, stories, group games and have discussions on a variety of topics.
Snack Time: At snack time we sit together and share a healthy snack (Each family takes turns providing the snack).
Outdoor Play: We try to go outside each day. Attached to the preschool is a fenced playground, with lots of space to run, play, climb the playground, and use various types of outdoor play equipment. We also may go for a walk up to the Queen’s Park playground or just for a stroll through the park to explore and enjoy the nature around us.
