ABOUT
Imagination is the gateway to knowledge
Academy of Imagination is a small, family centred playcare centre. With the addition of our Pre-Kindergarten building, we offer two 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.
At our second location, right next door, our trained and qualified ECE teachers build on the skills they have already acquired The goal of this second location is to ready the 4 and 5 year olds for Kindergarten in our Pre-Kindergarten class with certified early childhood education teachers.
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.
Child Safety
Child safety is of utmost importance to us. All our staff is first aid certified and has undergone a criminal background check.
The environment is set up for the comfort of the children so they may play and explore in comfort and safety.
Pre-Kindergarten
Our Pre-K program features 2 Early Childhood Education certified teachers who are passionate about learning through play. Your child will learn everything they need to know to start big kid school on the right foot.
