Preschool Program
2 years to Kindergarten
Our early learning program is designed to support the Ontario government’s “Early Learning For Every Child Today” document and the Ontario Ministry of Education’s guidelines for full day learning. 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. We recognize ‘play’ as a vital path to learning as it capitalizes on children’s natural curiosity and enthusiasm to absorb information.
