Montessori by BrightPath Strandherd Child Care Centre

Infant (6 Weeks - 18 Months)

Our infant program provides a warm, nurturing environment where caregivers form close bonds with babies, ensuring a secure and trusting relationship. Each infant follows their own schedule, with individualized care routines for feeding, sleeping, and play. Our educators support early development through sensory exploration, attachment-based play, and language-rich interactions, including the introduction of basic American Sign Language (ASL).

Key Focus Areas:

• Building secure attachments with primary caregivers
• Encouraging free exploration and movement
• Facilitating play that supports sensory and cognitive development
• Respecting each infant’s natural rhythms and routines

Toddler (18 Months - 3 Years)

Toddlers are naturally curious, energetic, and eager to explore. Our toddler program fosters independence while encouraging language development and social-emotional growth. Through hands-on activities, play-based learning, and structured routines, toddlers gain foundational skills for future learning.

Key Focus Areas:

• Supporting independence (self-feeding, dressing, potty training)
• Expanding language and communication through ASL and verbal expression
• Encouraging social-emotional growth through cooperative play
• Sensory experiences, music, and movement to enhance cognitive development

Preschool (3-4 Years)

Preschoolers are eager learners, exploring their world with curiosity and excitement. Our preschool program builds upon their natural interests, incorporating early literacy, math, science, and creative expression into their daily routines. Play-based learning helps children develop problem-solving skills, creativity, and social connections.

Key Focus Areas:

• Developing early literacy and numeracy skills
• Encouraging creative expression through art, music, and dramatic play
• Building independence and confidence in learning
• Enhancing social and problem-solving skills through group activities

Kindergarten

Our program focuses on play-based learning, literacy enhancement, and our adaptive curriculum promotes independence and academic readiness.
