The Preschool Rooms at the Halton Centre for Child Care are grouped into 2 classrooms based on age. The Preschool 2 room is for our oldest preschoolers. It is designed on a developmental continuum that takes over where the Preschool 1 program leaves off. With a strong focus on early literacy, cognitive, math, motor and social/emotional skill development our Preschool 2 program is a great preparatory program for Junior Kindergarten, with the added benefit of an 8:1 child/teacher ratio to ensure each child is reaching his/her maximum potential.

Programming in our Preschool Rooms inquiry based learning: children explore their environment, define and research their own theories of the world around them. Educators observe children, their play, and their interaction with others to note current developmental challenges and interests. Our Emergent curriculum allows children to investigate their interests and therefore be fully engaged in their learning, feel a sense of belonging and well-being in their environment, and have opportunities to express themselves in a variety of ways and through various mediums.
