Imagination is the gateway to knowledge



Academy of Imagination, situated in the heart of the lovely Pointe-Claire village, surrounded by amazing merchants, great parks, and beautiful water views, strives to be the Outdoor Daycare you have been looking for. 

 

We have 3 classrooms, each catering to different age groups and abilities. * Our Littles class (3 years old and under -not potty trained), 

*Our Mini-Kinders group (3-4 years old)

*Our PreK4 class (heading to kindergarten the coming September)

We offer three separate classrooms that are programmed for their specific age groups. We offer what bigger daycares simply cannot; a personalized, family oriented program based on the specific needs of our families. 

​

With the help of several Educarers, the children explore the world around them with childlike wonder. The majority of the day is spent outdoors exploring the environment; finding insects, digging for worms, climbing trees, expeditions through the 'forest', fishing, feeding the ducks, and anything else their hearts desire.  The summer is spent by the pool, swimming lessons are given by the PVPC pool staff Monday to Thursday.  

 

We feel that children develop their imaginations by exploring the world, and what better way to develop their creative thinking than providing an environment without telelvision, smart boards, and iPads. Days are filled with activities centred around science, math, literature, music and movement that are based on their interests.  

Children develop the necessary social skills, problem solving skills they need to be successful in school and life.  In a muliti age environment they are given the opportunity to help and model behaviours to the younger children, and the younger children learn from the older children.  Brothers and sisters are able to play with each other at any time.
