Our Facility Offers:
Well-trained, Caring Staff
Personalized attention
We offer a low teacher-student ratio to allow for more personalized attention. Due to our quality staff, our school can serve children with special or high needs. We aim to foster personal development and build your child’s self-esteem in a safe and comfortable environment.
Assistance for children with language delays
We teach children with speech and language delays and many other difficulties, including social, learning, behaviour, and adjustment. Our staff is trained to provide top-quality child daycare services in a stimulating, inclusive and supportive environment.
Well-rounded curriculum
We place special emphasis on language, mathematics, science and social studies, physical education and arts. We will monitor your child’s development through formal progress reporting to ensure he or she is getting adequate attention and care.
Personal development
We also emphasize the development of positive self-esteem and decision-making while ensuring that your child has fun and enjoys learning at nursery school. We believe that each child has unique interests and skills and will do our very best to nurture them in the best way possible.
Effective teaching material & style
We use teaching materials and books recommended by the Ministry of Education and adapt our teaching style to accommodate each child’s specific needs. Our programs are designed to engage your child and help them develop a love for learning and healthy living.
THE COLWELL ADVANTAGE
One of the most important qualities for your child to have is a sense of self-worth. When children are confident in themselves and their abilities, they are more likely to succeed in school, their future professions, and life. We will help enrich your child’s education by providing experiences that will help develop such attitudes.
As an alternative to Montessori schools in Pickering, Colwell Nursery School & Kindergarten utilizes a method of education that uses some Montessori materials and has a child-centred approach. Our programs and after-school care services balance education with playtime and rest that will help develop your child’s physical, mental and cognitive skills.
Learning through play
When children use playtime as an unconscious learning tool, they love the process. They are also in a safe environment where they are free and encouraged to imagine and form their own ideas. And when children love to learn, they seek out knowledge and gain self-confidence. We will help them learn how to learn and enjoy the process.
BENEFITS ALL CHILDREN
Each child is gifted, but they might be gifted in different ways. We use compassionate, structured, and fun learning techniques to bridge these differences. Whether your child has some developmental delays or emotional, social, or physical disabilities, our educators can make them feel comfortable to learn and grow in a safe and inclusive space.
How Can a Private Kindergarten Benefit Your Child?
The bottom line is that a low student-to-teacher ratio means that each child gets personalized attention. At a time when developmental gaps between children of the same age will never be greater in your child’s academic career, personalized attention is crucial. It will help detect any potential learning problems and provide a relaxed and stimulating experience that can be catered to your child’s needs. Read more.
