Our School
Our philosophy is to foster positive self-esteem within each child and to enhance the joy of learning through creative play, discovery, and socialization. While a great deal of planning goes into the development of a core curriculum, the operative word for each day is flexibility, where practical adjustments are made to suit the evolving needs of our children. We offer a bilingual environment, with a French program that tailors activities fostering comprehension and language acquisition.

- Duty Days: Approximately once every 5 weeks for Curzon, one parent will come in for the morning to assist the teachers. Duty Days are special days for the Duty Child. They have additional responsibilities, including Show & Tell, Calendar, and Bunny Circle. These can be attended by parents, grandparents or caregivers.
- Participation in 2- general meetings per year.
- Responsible for one of our parent co-op jobs.
- Support in school fundraising activities.
Our classes
We keep the class size small, accepting a maximum of 16 children for the Curzon program (age 3 to 5). We enjoy the use of four classrooms: a large main classroom, a gymnasium, another smaller classroom (used for yoga and special programs), and a wonderful music room. This allows the teachers to work with smaller groups of children to enhance the learning environment.
