Program Fees & Schedule
Play-based learning at Kingston Day Care
Kingston Day Care’s Play-Based curriculum-planning relies on free-play time to help our early childhood educators reflect on each child’s interests and developing areas. Free-play time allows children to engage in desirable play: reading a book, taking care of their baby, pouring and dumping in the water table, etc.
Not only does this time allow for child-oriented activities, but observations are now recorded in the form of a web. These webs are consistently being reflected upon and adjusted based on teacher observation and assessment. It is a great visual for the teachers, as well as the parents!
The children love KDC’s Play-Based curriculum format and the continuation of developmental growth is at a rapid rate! Our Parent Information Boards are also a key component to the success of our Play-Based Programs.
We recognize ‘play’ as a vital path to learning as it capitalizes on children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm to absorb information. Our physical environments are carefully planned out as they play a key role in learning and development.
ELECT (Early Learning for Every Child Today) describes how young children learn and develop, and it provides a guide for curriculum in Ontario’s child care settings. The categories of development focused on are physical, social, emotional; communication/language/literacy; and cognitive.
The Continuum of Development is used at Kingston Day Care as a tool to provide a reference point for our early childhood educators as they plan and enhance experiences that will support each child’s lifelong learning and development.
