FAQs

Here are some common questions about our junior preschool care program.

How do you support shy children?

We understand that some children need extra reassurance. Our educators take a gentle approach, offering small group time, one-on-one support, and consistent encouragement to help each child feel secure and confident.

Do you focus on literacy and numeracy?

Yes, but always through play. We weave in early reading, writing, and counting through songs, stories, and activities, so learning feels natural and enjoyable.

Is there still rest time?

Yes. Children can rest if they need to or choose calm, quiet activities. We believe downtime is just as important as play for healthy development.

How do you encourage friendships?

Our educators actively model kindness, sharing, and inclusion. Group projects, play, and celebrations all help children develop lasting friendships and social skill
